Peer Review Process
IJAMSET applies a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and integrity of all published articles. In this process, the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review period.
Review Process
Upon submission, each manuscript is first assessed by the Editor-in-Chief to determine whether it falls within the scope of the journal and meets the basic formatting and quality requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria will be returned to the authors without peer review.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise in the subject area. Reviewers are asked to complete their evaluation within two to three weeks from the date of assignment.
Editorial Decision
Based on the reviewers' evaluations, the editorial board will issue one of the following decisions:
- Accept: The manuscript is accepted for publication without any further revision.
- Minor Revision: The manuscript requires small corrections or clarifications. Authors are expected to submit a revised version along with a response to the reviewers' comments.
- Major Revision: The manuscript requires substantial revision, which may include additional analysis, restructuring, or significant rewriting. The revised manuscript will be re-evaluated by the reviewers.
- Reject: The manuscript does not meet the scientific or technical standards of the journal and is not suitable for publication.
Transparency and Communication
Authors will receive the reviewers' comments along with the editorial decision. Authors are encouraged to respond to each comment clearly and systematically in a separate response letter when submitting a revised manuscript. All communications between authors, reviewers, and editors are conducted through the journal's online submission system.
Ethical Responsibilities of Reviewers
Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and confidential evaluations. Any reviewer who identifies a conflict of interest with the submitted manuscript is required to notify the editor and decline the review assignment. Reviewers must not use unpublished information from a reviewed manuscript for their own research purposes.
