Journal Policies

Peer Review Policy

Double-blind peer review standards and reviewer responsibilities.

Review model

All manuscripts that pass initial screening are evaluated under a double-blind peer review model. Each manuscript is assessed by at least two reviewers; a third reviewer may be appointed for complex or high-impact submissions.

Reviewer duties

Reviewers provide objective, constructive, timely, and confidential assessments. They evaluate originality, methodological soundness, quality of reasoning, thematic relevance, and contribution to scholarship.

Editorial decisions

Recommendations may include acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection. Final decisions are made by the editor based on reviewer reports, revised manuscripts, quality, relevance, and issue coherence.
