Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

1. Initial Screening: Every submitted manuscript is reviewed by the Managing Editor to assess scope conformity, structural completeness, formatting compliance, and similarity index (maximum 20% via Turnitin).

2. Double-Blind Peer Review: Manuscripts meeting the preliminary requirements are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers. Authors and reviewers remain strictly anonymous throughout the process.

3. Review Timeline: The review process typically takes 4–8 weeks from assignment.

4. Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' feedback, the Editor-in-Chief renders one of the following decisions:

   • Accept Submission (without revisions)

   • Revisions Required (minor modifications)

   • Resubmit for Review (major revisions required)

   • Decline Submission (out of scope or critical flaws)
