Information For Reviewers
-
Reviewers are responsible for evaluating the manuscript and providing their detailed feedback through the Journal's online platform or by completing the designated review form. They may also provide in-text comments directly on the manuscript using track changes. Reviews must be submitted to the Editorial Secretary within a maximum period of 30 days. The completed review must be submitted to the Editorial Secretary within a maximum of 30 days. Should reviewers fail to meet the deadline, the Editorial Secretary will issue reminders via email or the Journal’s electronic platform.
- The outcomes of the peer review process are categorized as follows:
+ If the manuscript is assessed as not meeting the required quality standards (both reviewers recommend rejection), the Editorial Secretary will submit the evaluation to the Editor-in-Chief for final confirmation and notify the author of the rejection via email, outlining the reasons for the decision.
+ In cases where the reviewers’ evaluations are contradictory, the Editorial Secretary will escalate the matter to the Editor-in-Chief, who will decide whether to reject the manuscript or assign a third reviewer. The third review will be conducted in accordance with the same process applied to the initial reviewers.
+ If the manuscript is approved for publication by the reviewers but requires revisions, the Editorial Secretary will compile and forward the reviewers’ comments to the corresponding author. The author is required to provide a detailed response to the reviewers’ feedback, clearly outlining the revisions made based on their suggestions, the aspects retained without modification along with justifications, and answers to any specific questions raised by the reviewers. This response must be submitted using the designated template or through the journal’s online platform. The revision and resubmission process must be completed within a maximum of 15 days from the receipt of the peer review feedback.
- If the reviewers request "revisions based on comments and further review," the Editorial Secretary will forward the author's response along with the revised manuscript to the reviewers for additional feedback. This process may be repeated as necessary until the reviewers either approve or reject the manuscript.
- For manuscripts approved by the reviewers with the condition "revisions based on comments, no further review required," the Editorial Secretary will review and confirm the author's revisions to ensure compliance with the reviewers’ suggestions.
