Once an article is submitted and following an initial cursory evaluation by the editor, it is forwarded to the Bentham Author Support Services (BASS) team for a comprehensive preliminary assessment.

The BASS team consists of skilled professionals specializing in reviewing manuscripts to ensure that they are fully prepared for the next stages of the editorial process. Their meticulous evaluation identifies and addresses common errors early on, thereby reducing potential delays during the publication stages.

By offering a systematic and efficient approach to manuscript preparation, BASS ensures that submissions meet the highest standards of quality and adhere to ethical guidelines. These practices uphold academic integrity and enhance the credibility of the published research.
