Manuscript acceptance

Review Process

The Editorial Committee will decide whether a submitted manuscript is suitable for publication. Manuscripts will undergo a peer review process and will be assigned to members of the Editorial Committee as deemed appropriate according to the subject matter of the manuscript.

Manuscripts will be reviewed with due respect for the confidentiality of the author(s). At the same time, reviewers will also maintain confidentiality rights, respected by the editors. The editors will assure both authors and reviewers that manuscripts submitted for review are unique communications and, therefore, are the author’s private property.

Resubmission

If a manuscript is returned to the author(s) for revision, all resubmissions should follow the instructions for submitting a manuscript and include the following:

Use alternate font colors or highlighting tools in Word to show the changes made.
The corresponding author must also upload a letter (Corresponding Author Rebuttal) in response to each of the points made by the reviewers.
The deadline for resubmission of a revised manuscript in need of major revisions is 1 month from the date of the notice.
There is no guarantee that a revised manuscript will be accepted for publication.

Plagiarism check

The editorial board will carefully monitor papers submitted to the scientific journal PgO. All submitted manuscripts will be compared with published papers using similarity checking software (iThenticate).

Plagiarism includes Verbatim copying: reproducing a work word for word, in whole or in part, without permission and acknowledgement of the original source; Paraphrasing: reproducing someone else’s ideas without copying word for word, without permission and acknowledgement of the original source; Substantial copying: copying images or data from other sources; Text recycling: reusing large amounts of text from your own previous publications.
Any text contained in a manuscript that is copied directly from another source should be placed in quotation marks and the original source should be properly cited. If a paper captures the essence of a previously published work, that work should be cited. If any paraphrase is included, the source must be properly referenced and the intended meaning of the source must not be changed. All works that may have inspired the design of a study or the structure of the manuscript must be properly cited.

If plagiarism is detected during any part of the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. For published articles in which plagiarism is detected, the journal reserves the right to issue a correction or withdraw the paper, as deemed appropriate. The journal reserves the right to inform the authors’ institutions of detected plagiarism before or after publication.
