Peer Review Procces

The peer review process is a systematic workflow used by academic journals to ensure that submitted articles meet high standards of quality, originality, and academic integrity. Below is a step-by-step explanation of the typical process:

1. Author Submits Article
   The process begins when the author sends their manuscript to the journal.
2. Initial Assessment by the Editor
   The editor checks whether the manuscript fits the journal’s scope and meets basic academic and ethical standards.
   • If it does not, the manuscript is rejected at this stage.
   • If it passes, it is sent for peer review.
3. Sent to Reviewers
   The editor assigns the article to expert reviewers who evaluate the quality, methodology, clarity, and contribution of the work.
4. Reviewers Provide Feedback
   Reviewers submit detailed comments and recommendations, which may include requests for revision.
5. Editor Assesses Reviews
   Based on reviewers’ evaluations, the editor decides whether:
   • The manuscript is accepted,
   • Rejected, or
   • Requires revisions from the author.
6. Revisions (if required)
   The author revises the manuscript and resubmits it.
   • Sometimes the revised version is sent back to reviewers if further review is needed.
7. Final Decision
   After the final evaluation, the editor issues an acceptance or rejection decision.
8. Production
   Accepted manuscripts move to the production stage, where they are formatted, edited, typeset, and prepared for publication.
9. Publication
   The article is officially published and becomes available to readers.
