Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process of ISNU Nine-Star Multidisciplinary Journal (INS9MJ)

1. Initial Screening: Each manuscript received through the online submission system undergoes an initial review by the editor to ensure alignment with the journal's scope and focus, as well as compliance with basic quality standards.

2. Reviewer Assignment: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are forwarded to the peer review process. This journal employs a double-blind review system, where both the identities of the reviewers and the authors are concealed to maintain objectivity.

3. Review Process: Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on criteria such as originality, significance, methodological accuracy, clarity of expression, and adherence to ethical standards.

4. Feedback and Recommendations: Reviewers provide detailed feedback and recommendations to the editor, which may include acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript.

5. Editorial Decision: The editor makes a decision based on the recommendations from all reviewers. This decision is then communicated to the authors along with the reviewers’ comments and suggestions.

6. Manuscript Revision: If revisions are needed, authors are requested to revise their manuscript in line with the reviewers’ comments and resubmit the revised manuscript within a specified timeframe.

7. Revision Verification: The editor checks the revised manuscript to ensure that all reviewer inputs have been addressed. If necessary, the manuscript may be sent back to the reviewers for a second review.
