Peer-Review Process
The journal operates a rigorous, double-blind anonymous peer-review process. Each manuscript is evaluated by two or three expert reviewers to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of the work to the journal's scope. This process includes the following stages:
- Initial Screening: All submissions undergo a preliminary screening by the editorial team to ensure they meet the journal’s basic criteria, including relevance, originality, and adherence to formatting guidelines.
- Assignment to Reviewers: Qualified reviewers with relevant expertise are selected to evaluate the manuscript, ensuring a thorough and informed review process.
- Reviewer Evaluation: Reviewers provide comprehensive feedback on the submission, including assessments of the work’s methodology, theoretical framework, contribution to the field, and clarity of presentation.
- Decision Making: Based on reviewer feedback, the editorial board decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript. In the case of conflicting reviews, an additional reviewer may be consulted.
- Author Revision and Resubmission: Authors of manuscripts requiring revisions are given the opportunity to respond to reviewer comments and resubmit the revised work, which may undergo further review.
- Final Decision: The editorial board makes a final decision on the manuscript’s publication, ensuring that only high-quality, impactful research is published.
This transparent and rigorous peer-review process upholds the journal's dedication to quality, integrity, and scholarly value.
