Key Features of Our Peer Review Process:

1. Initial Editorial Assessment:

   • Upon submission, each manuscript is first reviewed by the journal’s editorial team to assess its relevance to the journal’s scope, adherence to submission guidelines, and overall scholarly merit. Manuscripts that do not meet these initial criteria are returned to the authors for revision or are rejected.

2. Assignment of Reviewers:

   • Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers who have relevant expertise in the subject area of the manuscript. These reviewers are carefully selected from a pool of qualified scholars to provide an informed and fair evaluation.

3. Double-Blind Review:

   • In line with the double-blind review process, the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept confidential. Authors will not know the identities of the reviewers, and reviewers will not know the identities of the authors. This ensures that reviews are based solely on the quality of the research and writing, free from any potential bias.
