Step-by-Step Peer Review Workflow
1. Submission & Pre-Screening
Manuscripts are checked for formatting guidelines and run through similarity index software. Papers exceeding a 10% plagiarism threshold are returned.
2. Double-Blind Evaluation
The manuscript is anonymized and assigned to at least two independent peer reviewers within the relevant field of study.
3. Reviewer Assessment
Reviewers evaluate originality, technical soundness, methodology, and relevance, submitting recommendations: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject.
4. Editorial Board Decision
The Editor-in-Chief reviews the recommendations and issues a decision. Revision requests are sent back to the corresponding author for modifications.
5. Publication & DOI indexing
Accepted articles are formatted, proofed, assigned a Crossref DOI, and published online on the journal's official archives.
