Peer Review Process

Once you've submitted your paper to a journal, it'll then be sent out for assessment by independent experts in the field in order to evaluate manuscript's quality and suitability for publication. 

All papers will be subject to anonymous single-blind peer-review and will be evaluated according to the Journal's Focus and Scope.

Editorial teams work very hard to progress papers through peer review as quickly as possible. However, it’s important to be aware that this part of the process can take some time. The review process will take approximately 4 weeks for the editor to make final publication decision. 

Editors have various options when it comes to making a decision on an article. The following are the most common decisions made:

  • Accept without any changes (acceptance): the journal will publish the article in its original form.
  • Accept with minor revisions (acceptance): the journal will publish the article once the author has made some small corrections.
  • Accept after major revisions (conditional acceptance): the journal will publish the article if the authors make changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editors.
  • Revise and resubmit (conditional rejection): the journal will reconsider the article in another round of decision making once the authors have made major changes.
  • Reject the paper (outright rejection): the journal won’t publish the article or reconsider it.

If you need an update on the status of your paper, please get in touch with the editor.
