Reviewer Responsibilities & Guidelines

To maintain academic integrity, peer reviewers are requested to strictly adhere to the following
professional standards and standards of ethics during evaluation.

1. Acceptance of Review Invitation

Reviewers must respond to invitations promptly, confirming acceptance or refusal within 3 working days. Only accept manuscripts that match your timeline constraints.

Accept invitations only for research within your genuine academic domain. If you lack the necessary technical background, inform the editor immediately.
Disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including joint projects, financial connections, personal relationships, or professional rivalries, before commencing your review.
All manuscripts are confidential documents. You must not share, discuss, duplicate, or extract raw data from any part of the paper without explicit editorial consent.
Conduct reviews objectively and impartially. Assessments should be structured on rational reasoning and scientific facts, completely free from personal or philosophical bias.
Commit to fulfilling reviews on time. If unexpected delays occur, alert the editor immediately to renegotiate the deadline or allocate a replacement reviewer.
Write supportive, constructive, and precise reviews. Avoid derogatory remarks and deliver specific, clear feedback that acts as a blueprint to help the authors improve.
Notify the editors immediately if you spot substantial overlaps with existing published works, dual submissions, falsified results, or questionable ethical methods.
Perform a comprehensive review of theoretical structures, empirical data, design methods, statistical analyses, and logic flow, ensuring total scientific accuracy.
Ensure any citation recommendations are strictly grounded in relevance to the manuscript. Do not request citation of your own work simply to artificially boost citations.
Provide a definite recommendation (Accept, Major Revision, Minor Revision, Reject) supported by a logical, cohesive summary of your specific findings.
Uphold the integrity of double-blind review. Avoid referring to your past work or using language that reveals your identity. If author identities are visible, report it.
Point out syntax, clarity, and structural issues to assist authors, but preserve the intellectual core of the paper. Keep feedback scientific, constructive, and concise.
The requirement for confidentiality persists even after the review is complete. Delete or securely discard physical and digital drafts of the review manuscript.
Collaborate respectfully. Act as an encouraging scholar whose final intent is to elevate research quality, maintain scientific validity, and celebrate innovative ideas.

Review Timeline & Decisions

Transparency is core to our academic mission. Below is an overview of our rigorous peer review timelines and the
standard outcomes determined by our editorial board.

Review Timeline

Our editorial system guarantees prompt and rigorous evaluations. We respect authors’ dedication and work closely with reviewers to maintain target schedules at every phase:

  • Editorial Response: 3–5 Days
  • Initial Evaluation: 14 Days
  • Revised Decisions: 7 Days

Reviewer Recommendations

Peer reviewers assess submissions based on originality, methodological rigor, and scholarly impact. They recommend one of four clear formal actions:
Accept

The manuscript is suitable for publication in its current state, requiring only minor technical adjustments, metadata updates, or basic proofreading before typesetting.

The paper is accepted pending slight corrections. Authors should address small textual discrepancies, clarify specific references, or adjust minor graphical details within 7 days.

Significant structural, analytical, or methodological issues must be resolved. The revised manuscript must be resubmitted for secondary review and validation by the referees.

The paper fails to meet standard academic thresholds or falls outside the scope of our journal. The submission is declined and will not undergo further review cycles.
