In order to secure publication, manuscripts must pass a rigorous single-blinded peer review process by a minimum of two reviewers, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. The peer review focuses on the manuscript’s objective qualities and not potential subjective impact.
