Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo an anonymous peer review process, in which the identities of the authors and reviewers are not disclosed to each other to ensure an objective and unbiased evaluation.
-
The corresponding author submits the manuscript through the journal’s online submission system.
-
The Editor-in-Chief conducts an initial editorial screening to assess the manuscript’s originality, academic quality, relevance to the journal’s scope, and compliance with the journal’s ethical standards, including plagiarism screening.
-
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewer selection is based solely on academic competence and the absence of conflicts of interest.
-
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript objectively and provide constructive comments and recommendations, including acceptance, revision, or rejection, through the online review system.
-
If revisions are required, the manuscript and anonymized reviewer comments are returned to the author for revision. The revised manuscript may be sent back to the reviewers for further evaluation when necessary.
-
The final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the journal’s editorial policies.
- On average, the peer review process takes approximately 8 weeks after the manuscript has been assigned to reviewers.
