Peer-Review Process
Contemporary Issues in Law, Culture, and Globalization upholds a double-blind peer-review process to ensure impartiality and academic rigor. Each manuscript submitted to the journal is reviewed anonymously by two or three expert reviewers, selected based on their scholarly expertise and familiarity with the manuscript’s subject matter.
Peer-Review Stages Include:
-
Initial Editorial Screening: The editorial team conducts a preliminary review to assess the manuscript's fit with the journal's scope, originality, and adherence to submission guidelines.
-
Anonymous Review: Eligible manuscripts are sent to independent reviewers who evaluate the submission based on clarity, methodology, originality, theoretical contribution, and significance.
-
Reviewer Recommendations: Reviewers may recommend acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection.
-
Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers’ comments and the author’s response to revisions, the editorial team makes a final publication decision.
Authors receive detailed feedback to enhance the quality of their work, and reviewer identities remain confidential throughout the process. The average timeline from submission to final decision is approximately 8 to 10 weeks.
