Review Procedure

Step-by-Step Manuscript Evaluation

Each stage helps the editorial team assess whether a manuscript meets the journal's academic and publication requirements.

1

Manuscript Submission

The editorial team receives the manuscript and checks whether the required submission information and files have been provided.

2

Preliminary Review and Similarity Assessment

The editor examines the manuscript's scope, completeness, originality concerns and compliance with journal guidelines. Similarity-detection tools may be used where available.

Similarity reports are evaluated in context. A percentage alone does not establish plagiarism; citations, quotations, references and the nature of matching text must be considered.
3

Technical and Academic Evaluation

Manuscripts meeting the initial requirements proceed to a more detailed assessment of academic quality, methodology, findings, relevance and presentation.

4

Reviewer Report

Reviewers identify the manuscript's strengths, limitations and areas requiring clarification or improvement. Feedback should be objective, relevant and constructive.

5

Editorial Decision

The editor considers the review findings and the overall quality of the manuscript before communicating an editorial decision to the corresponding author.

6

Revision and Final Assessment

If revisions are requested, authors should respond to the comments and submit an updated manuscript. Further assessment may be conducted before the final decision.

Evaluation Standards

What Reviewers Evaluate

Reviewers assess criteria appropriate to the manuscript's discipline, research design and type of scholarly contribution.

A

Originality and Contribution

The novelty of the research, its significance to the field and whether the findings contribute meaningfully to existing academic knowledge.

B

Methodology and Results

The appropriateness of research methods, clarity of analysis, presentation of results and whether conclusions are supported by the evidence.

C

Structure and Presentation

The organization of sections, academic writing quality, clarity of figures and tables, and accuracy of citations and references.

D

Literature Review and Relevance

The adequacy of scholarly sources, relationship to previous research, relevance to the journal's scope and clarity of the research objectives.

Constructive Assessment

Reviewer Feedback and Recommendations

Reviewer reports should explain the manuscript's academic strengths and identify specific ways to improve its quality.
