Peer Review Process

HOW WE REVIEW

Phase 1
Initial Editorial Screening
The editorial office checks the submission for completeness, formatting compliance, plagiarism (iThenticate), and basic scope fit before it is assigned to an Associate Editor.
1–3 days
Phase 2
Associate Editor Assessment
An Associate Editor with relevant expertise reviews the manuscript for scientific merit and decides whether to proceed to external review or reject without review.
3–5 days
Phase 3
Double-Blind Peer Review
A minimum of two independent expert reviewers evaluate the manuscript without knowledge of author identity. Reviewers submit structured reports covering methodology, originality, and significance.
3–6 weeks
Phase 4
Editorial Decision
The Associate Editor consolidates reviewer feedback and makes a recommendation (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject) to the Editor-in-Chief, who issues the final decision.
3–7 days
Phase 5
Revision & Acceptance
Authors revise and resubmit within the specified window. Following satisfactory revision, the manuscript is accepted and scheduled for the next available issue.
Varies
Phase 6
Production & Publication
Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, typesetting, and proof review before online-first publication and inclusion in the next issue.
