PEER REVIEW PROCESS

All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be in line with its focus and scope, as well as the author guidelines. Submitted manuscripts must be scientifically valuable or original, and must be in line with the focus and scope of the journal.

The review process for examining and evaluating manuscripts/articles is carried out by two reviewers in order to maintain the quality of publications. The review process for each manuscript is conducted through a double-blind peer review system and managed by the editor through the OJS platform. The editor's decision is based on the assessments of both reviewers.

In general, prospective reviewers are selected based on their expertise and reputation in publication quality. The next step is for the editor to send an invitation letter to each prospective reviewer. Once the prospective reviewer confirms their availability for the review process, the review process can begin. Before the review process is carried out, it is not possible for the editor to issue a LoA to the author.

Submitted articles must have a maximum similarity score of 20% before entering the review stage. The review process to publication takes approximately four months.

PLAGIARISM

Authors must submit only original work that has not been plagiarized or published elsewhere. All manuscripts should be free of plagiarism, and every submission will be checked for similarity using plagiarism detection software. The editorial team will use tools like Turnitin or similar software to compare the manuscript with existing literature.

WITHDRAWAL OF MANUSCRIPT

It is imperative to note that during the review process, authors are prohibited from withdrawing their manuscript. This is due to the fact that such a withdrawal would result in a considerable waste of valuable resources and time for the editors and reviewers who have been assigned to process the submitted manuscript.
