Peer Review Process

The peer review process is integral to maintaining the journal's scholarly standards. Each manuscript undergoes evaluation by a minimum of two expert reviewers within approximately four weeks. The Editor retains final decision-making authority regarding publication, ensuring the manuscript aligns with the journal's scope and quality criteria.

Key aspects of the review process include:

  • Confidentiality: Reviewer and author identities are kept confidential.
  • Manuscript Handling: Submissions are only accessible to reviewers and editorial staff.
  • Reviewer Conduct: Reviewers must maintain confidentiality, avoid conflicts of interest, and provide constructive, evidence-based feedback.
  • Decision Timeline: Authors are expected to revise and resubmit manuscripts promptly, typically within two weeks. Failure to do so within two months may result in manuscript withdrawal.
