This journal follows a double-blind peer-review process. Manuscripts are initially screened by the Editor-in-Chief for scope and overall quality. Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two independent expert reviewers.

Double-Blind Peer Review

In the double-blind peer-review process, the identities of both the authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process. This approach is intended to reduce potential bias and ensure that manuscripts are evaluated primarily on their scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, significance, and contribution to the field.

Peer Review Criteria

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts according to their scientific quality, originality, relevance to the journal's scope, significance of the contribution, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and compliance with appropriate academic standards.

Reviewers

Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening are evaluated by at least two independent expert reviewers. Reviewers are selected according to the subject area and scientific expertise required to assess the manuscript.

Editorial Decisions

Following the peer-review process, authors may receive one of the following decisions: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject.

Review Time

The typical review time is approximately 6–10 weeks. The actual processing time may vary depending on the availability of suitable reviewers and the complexity of the manuscript.

Revised Manuscripts

When submitting a revised manuscript, authors must provide a point-by-point response addressing all reviewer comments and explaining the changes made to the manuscript. Revised manuscripts that do not adequately respond to the reviewers' concerns may be returned without further review.

Similarity Check provides comprehensive manuscript screening to detect plagiarism and maintain a high standard of quality throughout the peer-review process.

Author Accountability and Verification

Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all submitted work, including any content edited or assisted by AI technologies. All manuscripts undergo an initial screening using specialized software to detect plagiarism and identify the undisclosed use of generative AI.

AI Guidelines for Authors (Simple Assistants)

Authors may use simple AI-assisted tools for limited purposes such as grammar correction, language translation, text formatting, or verification of statistical analyses. The use of these tools does not require disclosure, provided they do not generate original scientific content.

AI Guidelines for Authors (Generative AI)

Generative AI tools capable of producing original content, including manuscript text, literature reviews, tables, figures, or reference lists, must not be used to create the scientific content of a manuscript. Such tools may only be used for language editing, assistance with data analysis, or stimulus generation. If generative AI is used for these permitted purposes, authors must include a Disclosure of the Use of AI section describing the tools employed and their specific role in preparing the manuscript.

AI Guidelines for Reviewers and Editors

Editors and reviewers may use simple AI-assisted tools to improve the language of their reports or verify statistical analyses without disclosure. However, the use of generative AI to produce peer-review reports, editorial decisions, or manuscript evaluations is strictly prohibited to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of the review process.

Blind Peer Review

This journal follows a blind peer-review process in which submitted manuscripts are evaluated by independent experts without revealing the identity of the authors. This approach helps reduce bias and ensures that each manuscript is assessed solely on its academic quality, methodology, originality, and contribution to the field.
