Peer Review Process

1. Initial Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial team to assess their relevance to the journal's scope, basic quality, and compliance with submission guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to the authors without external review.

2. Double-Blind Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to qualified independent reviewers. Author identities are removed from the manuscript, and reviewers remain anonymous to the authors. This ensures that the evaluation is based solely on the quality, originality, and scholarly merit of the work.

3. Reviewer Evaluation

Reviewers assess the manuscript based on:

• Originality and contribution to the field
• Methodological soundness
• Clarity of presentation
• Relevance to the journal's scope

Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommend one of the following:

• Accept
• Minor revisions
• Major revisions
• Reject

4. Editorial Decision

The editorial team considers the reviewers' recommendations and makes a final decision. Authors will receive detailed feedback to guide revisions where applicable.

5. Revision Process

Authors are given the opportunity to revise their manuscript based on reviewer comments. Revised submissions may be returned to reviewers for further evaluation.

6. Final Decision and Publication

Once a manuscript meets the journal's standards, it is accepted for publication. The editorial team ensures that accepted articles meet quality and formatting requirements before final publication.
