Peer Review Policy
1. Manuscript Submission
The author submits a manuscript to the journal, typically through an online or email submission system. The manuscript must adhere to the journal’s formatting and ethical guidelines.
2. Editorial Screening
The Editor-in-Chief or Handling Editor conducts an initial screening to ensure that:
- The topic fits within the journal’s scope.
- The manuscript meets quality standards (e.g., novelty, structure, language).
- There are no ethical concerns such as plagiarism or data manipulation.
If the paper fails this stage, it is desk-rejected (without peer review).
3. Reviewer Selection
The editor assigns the manuscript to two expert reviewers based on their subject expertise. Reviewers are typically researchers or academics in the same field as the submitted work.
4. Peer Review
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on the following criteria:
- Scientific validity
- Originality and contribution to the field
- Significance and clarity
- Appropriateness of references and methodology
Each reviewer provides a detailed report that includes:
- Comments for the editor
- Comments for the author
- A recommendation (Accept / Minor Revision / Major Revision / Reject)
5. Editorial Decision
The editor carefully considers all reviewer comments and makes one of the following decisions:
- Accept
- Minor Revision
- Major Revision
- Reject
The decision, along with reviewer comments, is communicated to the author.
6. Revision and Resubmission
If revisions are required, the author must:
- Revise the manuscript according to the reviewers’ comments.
- Provide a detailed response to each reviewer’s feedback.
For major revisions, the revised manuscript may undergo another round of peer review.
7. Final Decision
After all necessary revisions and re-reviews, the editor makes a final decision. If accepted, the manuscript moves to the production stage.
8. Publication
The accepted article is formatted, proofread, and published online with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
Note: The manuscript review process typically takes around 4 weeks from the time the reviewer accepts the review invitation.
