Peer Review Process

The journal follows a double-blind peer review process, meaning that during the review process, both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other. This ensures an unbiased evaluation of the manuscript.

Initial Submission and Editorial Check

Upon submission, the manuscript undergoes an initial assessment by the editorial team to ensure it meets the journal’s scope, formatting requirements, and ethical guidelines. Manuscripts that do not conform to submission guidelines may be returned to the authors for revision before proceeding to peer review.

Peer Review

• The editor assigns independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript’s subject area.
• Reviewers assess the manuscript for originality, methodological rigor, clarity, and significance to the field.
• Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommend one of the following decisions: Accept as is, Accept with minor revisions, Revise and resubmit (major revisions required) or Reject

Author Revisions

If revisions are requested, the authors must address all reviewer comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript.

Second Round of Review (if needed)

For major revisions, the revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation. The reviewers assess whether the changes made sufficiently address their concerns.

Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editor makes a final decision on whether to accept or reject the manuscript. The editorial team ensures that the review process has been fair and thorough.

Editing and Publication

Accepted manuscripts proceed to the production stage, where they go through copyediting and layout editing before the article is officially published online. Authors will receive a notification and a link to their published work.
