Important Notice: Please be advised that the figures presented above are historical averages provided strictly for informational purposes to assist authors and stakeholders in their planning. They do not constitute a guaranteed timeline or a binding promise for individual submissions. Actual processing times may occasionally exceed the estimates outlined in our Instructions for Authors due to factors beyond the editorial office's control. Such variables include the availability and turnaround times of expert peer reviewers, the extent of required manuscript revisions, and fluctuations in the volume of articles in production. Consequently, turnaround times may vary significantly from manuscript to manuscript and from year to year.
