Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality of published papers. The stages are as follows:

1. Submission Screening

   • The editorial team checks the manuscript for scope, format compliance, and plagiarism (using Turnitin, maximum 30%).

   • Manuscripts that do not meet the basic requirements will be returned to the authors.

2. Editor Assignment

   • Suitable manuscripts are assigned to an editor who will handle the review process.

3. Peer Review

   • At least two independent reviewers review each manuscript based on originality, methodology, clarity, and contribution to the field.

4. Review Decision

   • Based on reviewers’ recommendations, the editor will decide whether the manuscript is:

     • Accepted as is

     • Accepted with minor revisions

     • Accepted with major revisions (resubmission required)

     • Rejected

5. Revision and Resubmission

   • Authors are given a certain period to revise their manuscript according to reviewers’ comments and must provide a revision report.

6. Final Decision

   • The editor evaluates the revised manuscript. If necessary, it may be sent for another round of review.

   • The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision (accept or reject).

7. Copyediting and Proofreading

   • Accepted manuscripts undergo language editing, formatting, and final proofreading before publication.

8. Publication

   • The final version is published online on the journal’s website and assigned a DOI.
