PEER REVIEW
Peer Review OverviewTo comply with international publishing standards, our journal employs a double-blind peer review system,typically lasting three to four months. This period allows the reviewers to thoroughly evaluate submitted manuscripts. We are dedicated to a fair review process and deeply value the contributions of our reviewers in maintaining the journal's quality.
Acceptance CriteriaDuring the pre-review evaluation by the editor and the review process by the reviewers, manuscripts are evaluated based on:
- Novelty of Insights: The research article should offer new insights to the field.
- Scientific Rigor: The study should ensure that the methods are conducted with precision, transparency, and accountability.
- Coherence and Clarity: The manuscript should be well-written and logically organized.
- Ethicality: Research must adhere to ethical guidelines, including necessary approvals and ethical use of AI.
- Fitness to the Journal's Scope: The content should align with the journal’s scope and the interest of the journal's readership.
The Managing Editor uses Turnitin to check submissions for originality. Articles with over 10% similarity are rejected immediately. The Editor-in-Chief reviews submissions for suitability, novelty, and significant contribution. Successful papers are forwarded to Principal Associate Editors or Section Editors, who assign two expert reviewers.
Double-blind Peer ReviewArticles undergo a double-blind peer review by two experts, ensuring confidentiality of authors’ and reviewers’ identities. Reviewers provide objective feedback without revealing their identities. If reviewers disagree, the Editor-in-Chief, the Assigned Principal Associate Editor , or the Assigned Section editor decides on whether to publish the work or not.
Review of In-house Editorial Submissions and Invited AuthorsEditorial Board members can submit papers for review via JEAL's submission link. The Editor-in-chief may decide to review the submission or assign it to other members of the Editorial Board. If a Reviewing Editor recognizes an author's identity, they must decline the assignment, and the Editor-in-Chief will appoint another reviewer.
