Review Procedure

 

Peer-Review Process

An introduction to how we assess the quality of submitted manuscripts before publication to ensure originality, validity, and significance.

Type of Peer-Review: Double-Blind Review

The journal employs a strict Double-Blind Review system. In this process, the identities of both the reviewers and the authors are kept strictly hidden from each other to ensure a fair, unbiased, and objective evaluation.

How does it work?

When a manuscript is submitted to the journal, it is first assessed by the editorial team to determine whether it is feasible and meets the basic criteria and scope of the journal for further processing.

If it passes the initial desk evaluation, the editorial team will select potential independent peer reviewers in the relevant field of expertise to review the manuscript and make recommendations. In this review process, the article will be reviewed by at least 1 or 2 reviewers to ensure the high quality of the published article.

Why is it peer-reviewed?

Peer-review is an integral part of scientific publications confirming the validity of the manuscript. Reviewers are experts who volunteer their time to help improve the manuscripts they review. By being peer-reviewed, the manuscript becomes:

  • Stronger: Peer reviewers may point to gaps in the paper that require more explanation or additional experimentation/data.
  • Easier to read: If parts of the author's paper are difficult to understand, the reviewer can suggest constructive changes.
  • More useful: Peer-reviewers also consider the importance and relevance of the author's paper for others in their respective fields.
