Peer Review Process
· Initial Screening: All submitted manuscripts are screened by the editors for relevance to the journal’s scope, language quality, and originality. Plagiarism checking is conducted using Turnitin. Manuscripts with a high similarity index or those that fail to meet basic standards will be rejected at this stage (desk rejection).
· Double-Blind Review: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are reviewed by at least two (2) expert reviewers in the relevant field. The journal applies a double-blind review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential.
· Editorial Decision: The final decision on manuscript acceptance is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the reviewers’ recommendations and comments. Decisions include: Accepted, Accepted with Minor Revisions, Accepted with Major Revisions, or Rejected.
· Processing Time: The review process is expected to be completed within 4-8 weeks. Authors will be regularly informed about the status of their submissions.
