Peer Review Process

This journal employs a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed to ensure an objective and impartial evaluation. The peer review process is essential for maintaining the academic quality, originality, and relevance of all articles published in the journal.

Stages of the Peer Review Process

Initial Editorial Screening
Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the editorial team to assess its relevance to the journal’s scope and adherence to author guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet the basic criteria may be desk-rejected without entering the review stage.
Assignment to Reviewers
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. The review is conducted in a double-blind manner, ensuring anonymity for both reviewers and authors.
Evaluation by Reviewers
Reviewers assess the manuscript’s originality, scientific contribution, clarity of methodology, validity of results, and appropriateness of references. They may also suggest improvements regarding both content and presentation.
Editorial Decision
Based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, the editor will make a decision: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. Authors will receive the reviewers’ reports along with the editorial decision.
Author Revisions
Authors are given the opportunity to revise their manuscript in response to the reviewers’ feedback. A detailed response letter should accompany the revised manuscript, addressing each comment. In cases of major revisions, the revised manuscript may be sent back to the reviewers for re-evaluation.
Final Decision
Once the manuscript meets the required standards, it is accepted for publication and moves to the final editing and layout stage before being published online.
