All submissions are first reviewed by the editorial office to assess thematic relevance, formatting, and originality. Non-compliant submissions may be returned without external review.

Academic manuscripts are assigned to two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant discipline. Creative works are reviewed by editors or qualified cultural critics and scholars.

Authors are invited to revise their manuscript based on reviewer feedback. A response letter addressing each comment must accompany the revised submission.

Revised manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team and, if needed, the reviewers. A final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief or section editor.

Accepted submissions undergo copyediting and formatting. Authors may review proofs before final publication.

Final versions are published online with a DOI and full open-access rights.
