Review Process:
All research submitted to the journal undergoes a rigorous peer review process to ensure the highest standards of academic quality and scientific integrity. After the research is received from the researcher and the editorial board conducts an initial review to ensure its suitability for the journal's publication requirements, it is then examined by a detector and presented to the scientific secretariat. It is then referred to a confidential peer review committee (double-blind peer review) unknown to the researcher. The confidential committee does not know the researcher's identity, so it handles the scientific material through the research.
The peer reviewers evaluate the research based on originality, methodological rigor, clarity, significance, and scientific contribution to the scientific field. Based on the peer reviewers' recommendations, the editorial board makes a decision to either accept the research, request revisions (minor or substantial), or reject it for publication.
The peer review process typically takes 3 to 6 weeks, but the duration may vary depending on the availability of peer reviewers and the nature of the research.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Scope/Field of Publication: Research must be within the scope of the journal.
- Novelty: The information should not be derived from previously published research. It should be innovative and address an important research question. Ideally, it should also have potential for application outside the scope of the research.
- Methodology: The approach should be clear, appropriate, precise, and up-to-date.
- Conclusions: The conclusions should be convincing enough to merit publication.
