Peer Review Policy

Review

The COPE (https://publicationethics.org/) ethical guidelines are applied in the review process. The journal uses a double-blind peer review process.

The review and editing process is short, and accepted articles appear in the "Current" menu item within 3-4 months of the online submission of the draft article.

All submitted articles are subject to peer review, where the editors request an independent, double-blind evaluation from at least one expert, ensuring that the reviewer(s) have no conflicts of interest with the authors. The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief, who takes into account the evaluations and the suggestions of the editors. The editors and reviewers treat the submission confidentially.

Review and Publishing process

Each paper is evaluated through a peer-review process. For every submission, formal requirements, plagiarism, and grammar are first checked. Then, at least two independent reviewers – experts in the field who are not part of the journal’s editorial staff – are invited to conduct the review. If necessary, an additional reviewer from the editorial board may also be requested. Our review form, used in the peer-review process, includes both a questionnaire section and a textual evaluation section. Each reviewer provides a recommendation to the editors, who make the final decision. The complete publishing process is outlined below: 

 

 

Authors are required to participate in the peer review process, follow the advice of reviewers, meet the prescribed deadlines, and, if any, withdraw the submission or correct errors.
