Peer Review Process

All the manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process. The review process is designed to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of submitted manuscripts. Once a manuscript is submitted, it undergoes an initial review by the editorial office to assess its compliance with the journal’s scope and basic submission requirements. If the manuscript does not meet the basic criteria, it is rejected at this stage.

If it passes the initial screening, the manuscript is then subjected to plagiarism and similarity checking. Manuscripts that fail this check due to high similarity or issues of disaffiliation are rejected and archived. Those that pass are sent to the assigned editor for further consideration.

The assigned editor evaluates the manuscript and may decide to send it to expert reviewers for a double-blind peer review. Based on the reviewers’ comments, the editor may recommend revisions. If revisions are required, the manuscript is returned to the author for modification. Upon resubmission, the revised manuscript is reviewed again either by the same reviewers or by the editorial team.

Once the editor is satisfied with the revised version, the manuscript is forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief for final evaluation. The Editor-in-Chief may either accept the manuscript, request further modifications, or reject it based on the overall quality and alignment with the journal’s standards.

Manuscripts that are accepted proceed to the publication preparation stage, which includes formatting, proofreading, and final layout. Once finalized, the article is published online and archived in the journal’s database.

Throughout the process, authors may be asked to revise their work multiple times to meet the required standards. Rejected manuscripts are archived and will not be reconsidered unless resubmitted as new submissions.
