Peer Review Process

After the author submits the manuscript to the system, in the first stage, the manuscript will be evaluated by the editor-in-chief and the editorial board in terms of the quality of the content and the relevance of the topic. Manuscripts may be rejected by the editor-in-chief if they do not meet the submission guidelines or are outside the scope of the journal.

After the initial technical monitoring of the manuscript, it will be sent to at least 2 reviewers. The average review time is about 2 months and the type of manuscript review is double-blind peer review, and after receiving the results of the review, the following steps will be taken:

1- The reviewer either request minor or major revision or accept without revision or reject the manuscript. Based on the reviewer' comments, the editor-in-chief either makes minor or major revisions, accepts without revision, or rejects the manuscript.

2- If the editor-in-chief decides to appeal, the copy of the manuscript will be returned to the authors to make the corrections. Authors must provide a response to the reviewers' comments. The corrections made must be accurate, indicating the line number and the change. Modofications that do not meet these requirements will be returned to the authors with a revision request and resubmission. Some manuscripts may have two or three rounds of peer review. The editor-in-chief is responsible for making the final decision on whether to accept or reject manuscripts.

3- After accepting the manuscripr for publication, the galley proof of the manuscripr is sent to the authors for correction. Errors or omissions due to editorial negligence will be corrected during final printing. It does not include errors that have not been corrected by the author in the galley proof version and the article will finally be published.
