The peer review process is designed to uphold the quality and integrity of the scholarly work we publish. Each article submitted to the journal undergoes a rigorous double-blind review process, ensuring impartial evaluation by qualified experts in the relevant field.

Upon submission, the editorial team conducts an initial review to ensure the manuscript aligns with the journal’s scope, adheres to submission guidelines, and meets basic academic standards. Manuscripts that pass this initial screening are forwarded to reviewers for in-depth evaluation.

The journal implements a double-blind peer review system in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. Each manuscript is typically reviewed by two to three independent reviewers with subject-matter expertise. This anonymity ensures that the assessment remains objective and unbiased.

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on a range of criteria, including the clarity and relevance of the title and abstract, the quality of the background and literature review, the appropriateness of the research methodology and ethical considerations, the accuracy and interpretation of the results, the depth of discussion and theoretical contributions, and the coherence of conclusions and implications. In addition, reviewers consider the originality, scholarly relevance, and potential scientific contribution of the study, along with the manuscript’s overall structure, language, use of references, and academic presentation.

Reviewers are expected to provide comprehensive, specific, and constructive feedback. Their comments should be directly linked to relevant sections of the manuscript and should offer suggestions for improvement in a respectful and scholarly manner. All reviewers are required to maintain confidentiality, avoid conflicts of interest, and uphold the standards of academic integrity throughout the process.

Following the completion of peer review, the Editorial Board evaluates the reviewers’ reports and deliberates on the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses. The final decision—whether to accept the manuscript without revision, request minor or major revisions, or reject the manuscript—is made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the Board. This decision is informed by the reviewers’ comments, the overall quality of the manuscript, and its alignment with the journal’s academic vision.

To further ensure the originality of submitted work, all manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using Turnitin or equivalent plagiarism detection software. This is a crucial step to maintain the authenticity and academic integrity of published content.

Once a manuscript is accepted, it proceeds to the post-acceptance stage, which includes professional copyediting, typesetting, and final proofreading. Authors are given the opportunity to review the final version of their manuscript prior to publication. The article is then published according to the journal’s publication schedule, contributing to the advancement of scholarly discourse and the dissemination of high-quality, original academic work.
