Peer Reviewers Process

All submitted articles are subject to a peer review process i.e. the identity of the authors is concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, with an aim to eliminate bias reviews. Articles are peer reviewed by independent reviewers. Acceptance is granted when reviewers recommendations are positive.

Each manuscript submitted to this journal will be subjected to pre-review checks for three things, namely conformity with the journal scope, similarity index and conformity with author guidelines. A submitted manuscript that is not in accordance with the scope of the journal will be rejected. A manuscript that has a high similarity index (>20%) and/or not in accordance with the author guidelines will be returned to the author for revision. The manuscript that is in accordance with the similarity index criteria and in accordance with the author guidelines will be carried out by the peer-review process.

Decision
The manuscript will be reviewed by 2 reviewers. If needed, the editor can request a third review opinion. The review method applied is a double-blind review. The reviewer chosen to review each manuscript is someone who has published an article in an international journal or accredited national journal. The editor will decide whether the manuscript accepted or rejected for publication at the pre-review process and/or after receiving the reviewer's recommendation.
