Brief process of reviewing the articles

After sending the article by the dear authors, the article will be evaluated in a maximum of two weeks. In case of initial approval, the article will be sent to reviewers. The reviewers also have a maximum of one month to do the reviewing, and in case of no reviewing or withdrawal, the article will be sent to another reviewer. In the next step, if the article is not rejected by the reviewers, the corrections of the article are referred to the authors. In case of final approval of the corrections made, the article will be published.

 

Detailed process of reviewing and accepting articles

  1. After the author sends the article to the system, in the first step, the article will be reviewed by the publication's expert in terms of compliance with the compilation guide (within one week at most). Therefore, in order to speed up the judging process, before submitting the article, carefully read the section of the authors' guide and prepare and submit the article accurately based on the compilation guide available in the system.
  2. If accepted in the first stage, the article will be evaluated in the second stage by the editor of the journal in terms of the quality of the content and the relevance of the topic. This stage usually lasts a week. At this stage, the initial corrections may be announced to the author to improve the quality of the article and to be on the path of judging, so that by applying it and checking and confirming it, he can enter the next stage.
  3. After acceptance in the second stage, the article will be sent to two reviewers. The process of judging articles is as follows:
  • If two reviewers reject the paper, the paper will be rejected.
  • If one reviewer has a general review and another reviewer rejects the article, the article will be rejected.
  • If the opinion of the two reviewers is for the general revision of the article, the article will be given to the author for revision.
  • If the opinion of one reviewer is approval or partial revision and another reviewer rejects the article, the article will be sent to the third reviewer and according to the opinion of the third reviewer, a decision will be made based on items 1 and 2.
  • After the authors revise and submit the paper based on the reviewers' comments, the paper will be given to the reviewers for peer review.
  • Every five days, an e-mail is sent to the reviewers to remind them, and if the article is not reviewed after 30 days, the article will be withdrawn from the reviewer and given to a new reviewer. According to the amount of corrections requested and the opinion of the judges and the speed and accuracy of the corrections by the authors, it will take about 3 months to get accepted in this publication (if the final approval of the judges)
