When BES receives a manuscript, the editor will first decide whether the manuscript meets the formal criteria specified in the Instructions for Authors and whether it fits within the scope of the BES journal. When in doubt and before rejecting a manuscript on the basis of initial review, the editor will consult other members of the Editorial Board.

Manuscripts are then sent to an external expert for peer review*. All the manuscripts should be peer reviewed by science and technology experts as well as English -polished experts. The whole reviewing process will be one month. Please note that actual times to review and edit papers vary and primarily depend on the quality of the paper upon first submission.

* Peer review is a process that articles in many journals go through before they are published. Once an article is submitted for publication, it is sent to an editorial board comprised of experts in the field to be evaluated. The submitted article must receive the approval of the editorial board before it is published. The editorial board is usually identified at the beginning of each issue of a journal.
