Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
The journal follows a double-blind review system, ensuring that neither the authors nor the reviewers know each other’s identities. The editor first assesses the submission to verify its alignment with the journal’s standards and scope. Papers failing to meet these requirements may be rejected at this stage.
If the manuscript passes the initial screening, the editor assigns at least two independent experts in the field to evaluate it. These reviewers assess the paper’s strengths and weaknesses and recommend improvements. The review process typically takes five to eight weeks from the time reviewers are assigned. To maintain impartiality, reviewers are not informed of the authors’ identities, affiliations, or other personal details.
After evaluation, the authors receive the reviewers’ feedback, including suggestions for revisions. If modifications are required, authors are expected to address them promptly to improve the manuscript’s chances of acceptance.
Final Decision
The editor evaluates the reviewers’ comments and the revised manuscript before making a final decision—acceptance, rejection, or a request for further revisions. The authors are then notified of the decision along with the reviewers’ feedback. Ultimately, the editorial team holds the authority to make the final determination.
