PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Information about the review process. All articles in the journal are evaluated through an anonymous review process. In this system, the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential, and the parties do not know each other. The review process usually takes 2-3 weeks but may vary depending on the complexity of the topic. Reviewers are selected from independent experts specialized in the relevant field and with scientific publications. After passing the initial technical check, the article is sent to at least two independent reviewers specialized in the relevant field.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Scientific accuracy and originality;
- Appropriateness of the methodology;
- Relevance and contribution of the topic;
- Compliance of the article with structural and linguistic standards, etc.
Decision Process. Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editorial board decides to accept, request revisions, or reject the article. Authors must make revisions in accordance with the reviewers' comments. If an author disagrees with the reviewers' opinions, they may provide a reasoned explanation. To prevent conflicts of interest, all parties (authors, reviewers, and editors) must adhere to ethical principles.
