II. Submission and Manuscript Processing Cycle

Authors can submit manuscripts through the journal's online submission system at http://www.btbuspxb.com. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the journal's template, which can be downloaded from the submission system. All submissions undergo an initial review by the editorial office and a double-masked peer review by at least two external experts. The editor-in-chief and associate editors conduct a final evaluation, evaluating the manuscript's scientific merit, novelty, and practical relevance. From the date of receipt of a submission meeting the publication requirements, the journal typically makes a decision within one month. Authors are welcome to inquire about the status if the decision is delayed beyond this timeframe. Authors may proceed with alternative arrangements if no decision is received within three months.
