Stage 2: Advanced Review; in-depth review of the feasibility of the manuscript for publication. Review will be conducted using a double blind peer-reviewed system. Two reviewers will be assigned by the editor-in-chief from the journal reviewers. The author may suggest an external reviewer, if so, the external reviewer will be the third reviewer for the manuscript.
