PEER REVIEW PROCESS

All manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published articles. Neither the authors nor the reviewers know each other’s identities during the review process, maintaining objectivity and fairness.

  1. Initial Screening
    Each submitted manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial team to ensure that it meets the journal’s aims, scope, and formatting requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to the authors without external review.

  2. Assignment to Reviewers
    Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, publication record, and absence of conflicts of interest.

  3. Review Process
    Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, methodological soundness, clarity of presentation, contribution to the field, and adherence to ethical standards. They provide constructive comments and recommendations, which may include:

    • Accept without revision

    • Accept with minor revision

    • Revise and resubmit (major revision required)

    • Reject

  4. Editorial Decision
    The editor considers the reviewers’ comments and makes a final decision. The decision is communicated to the corresponding author, along with the reviewers’ feedback. Authors are expected to respond to all comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript within the specified timeframe.

  5. Revision and Final Review
    Revised manuscripts may be sent back to the original reviewers for re-evaluation if substantial changes have been made. Once the reviewers and editor are satisfied with the revisions, the manuscript is accepted for publication.

  6. Publication
    Accepted manuscripts undergo final copyediting, proofreading, and formatting before being published online. The editorial team ensures that all published articles meet the journal’s academic and ethical standards.

The journal is committed to maintaining a transparent, fair, and efficient review process that upholds the highest standards of academic excellence.
