Peer Review Policies 1. Double-Blind Peer Review Policy: This journal employs a strict double-blind peer review process. This means that the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept mutually anonymous throughout the evaluation process. This policy is designed to ensure that all evaluations are completely objective, unbiased, and based solely on the scientific merit of the manuscript. 2. Confidentiality: The journal is fully committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all authors and reviewers. No information regarding the submitted manuscripts or the peer review process will be disclosed or shared with any unauthorized third parties prior to publication. 3. Final Decision: Reviewers serve as scientific advisors to the journal. The final decision regarding the acceptance, request for revision, or rejection of a manuscript rests exclusively with the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board, based on the reviewers’ evaluation reports and recommendations. 4. Initial Screening and Plagiarism Check: All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial screening by the Editor-in-Chief before entering the formal peer review process. The journal reserves the right to desk-reject manuscripts that do not align with the aims and scope of the journal, fail to meet minimum standards of scientific quality, or exhibit high similarity scores during the initial plagiarism check. |
