Peer Review Process

All submitted research articles are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review process by professional reviewers who are experts in the field. The purpose of this review process is to identify the quality, strengths, and weaknesses of the article, in terms of currency, originality, novelty, coherence, and balanced argumentation.

After double-blind peer review, the corresponding author will receive an email with information about the status of the manuscript and/or the status in OJS. Decisions include acceptance, acceptance with major or minor revisions, or rejection. Articles that are often rejected are those that are poorly written or drafted. 

If in the case of a reviewer expecting revisions, the author must make revisions and upload the revised results, after which the reviewer will re-read the revised article. Only then will the reviewer give the decision to accept or revise again. In such cases, the author must understand the reviewer's direction which is aimed at the quality of the article itself.

Articles may be rejected without review if the Editor-in-Chief considers them clearly unfit for publication. Acceptance of manuscripts is limited by then-current legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
