The whole review process depends on receiving referees' comments and revising the manuscripts based on these comments by the author. On receipt of the revised article from the author, and after final approval by referees, the letter of acceptance is issued to the author. The author can also suggest the name of possible competent reviewers but it is up to the editor to accept it. No article is rejected unless negative comments are received from at least two reviewers.
