Editorial Process
Explore our comprehensive, multi-step process designed to ensure the highest standards of scientific excellence.
Manuscript Submission
Authors submit their manuscript via our online submission system or email. The manuscript must adhere to our formatting guidelines, ethical standards, and include all required supporting documents such as author declarations and conflict of interest statements.
Initial Editorial Assessment
Our editorial team conducts a preliminary screening to assess the manuscript’s originality, relevance to the journal’s scope, adherence to ethical guidelines, and overall quality. Manuscripts that do not meet basic criteria may be desk rejected without peer review.
Plagiarism & Ethical Compliance Check
All submissions undergo a thorough plagiarism check using industry-standard detection tools. Manuscripts failing ethical compliance or exhibiting plagiarism are rejected immediately.
Assignment to a Subject Editor
Manuscripts passing the initial screening are assigned to a specialized subject editor who oversees the peer-review process and ensures that relevant domain experts evaluate the research rigorously.
Double-Blind Peer Review
The manuscript is sent to at least two independent reviewers under a double-blind peer-review system. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s scientific validity, methodology, significance, and contribution to the field. Constructive feedback is provided to the authors.
Reviewer Feedback & Decision
Based on the reviewers' comments, the editor decides whether the manuscript requires major/minor revisions or is rejected. Authors are given clear instructions for revisions.
Revision & Resubmission
Authors submit a revised version addressing all reviewer comments. The revision undergoes further review to ensure all concerns are addressed satisfactorily. Multiple revision rounds may be required for manuscripts needing substantial improvements.
Final Editorial Decision
After satisfactory revisions, the editor makes the final decision. The manuscript is either accepted for publication, sent for further minor revisions, or rejected if concerns remain unaddressed.
Production & Formatting
Accepted manuscripts enter the production stage, where they undergo professional copyediting, proofreading, and typesetting to ensure readability and compliance with journal formatting standards.
Author Proof Review
Authors receive the final proof for review. They must confirm corrections and approve the version for publication within the specified timeframe.
Publication & DOI Assignment
The final version is published online as an open-access article with an assigned DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to ensure long-term archiving and discoverability.
Indexing & Dissemination
The published article is indexed in major academic databases such as Google Scholar, CrossRef, and other relevant repositories. It is made permanently accessible under our open-access policy.
