Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

The peer review process starts once you have submitted your paper to a journal.

After submission, your paper will be sent for assessment by independent experts in your field. The reviewers are asked to judge the validity, significance, and originality of your work.

  1. Manuscripts submitted to journals first go through an initial screening by the editorial team.
  2. Reviewers do not know the author's name, and authors do not know who is reviewing their manuscript (Double-blind review).
  3. Manuscripts that pass screening are sent to two peer reviewers for review.
  4. The peer reviewers independently make recommendations to the journal editor as to whether the manuscript should be rejected or accepted (with or without revisions).
  5. The journal editor considers all feedback from the peer reviewers and decides to accept or reject the manuscript.
