Review Process All submissions go through a two-step review process Step 1: Initial Review Editor-in-chief first reviews each manuscript to see if it meets the aims and scope of ETI and that it is of sufficient quality to merit external peer review. Step 2: External Peer Review Eligible submissions are peer-reviewed by three anonymous reviewers selected by the editor-in-chief or associate editors. The handling editor selects three referees who have expertise in the area associated with the submitted manuscript. The final recommendation on the manuscript is made by the editor-in-chief. The corresponding author is notified once a final decision is made. When the final revised manuscript is completely acceptable according to the ETI format and criteria, it is scheduled for publication in the next available issue.
