Peer Review Process for WAR Publisher
At WAR Publisher, we uphold a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the research we publish. Here’s an overview of our peer review process:
1. Initial Submission
- Upon submission, manuscripts are screened for compliance with our submission guidelines and overall relevance to our journals.
2. Editorial Review
- The editorial team conducts an initial review to assess the manuscript’s originality, significance, and suitability for our publication. If the manuscript meets these criteria, it is sent for peer review.
3. Selection of Reviewers
- We select two to three expert reviewers in the relevant field to evaluate the manuscript. Reviewers are chosen based on their expertise, experience, and absence of conflicts of interest.
4. Review Process
- Reviewers assess the manuscript based on several criteria, including:
- Quality of research design and methodology
- Clarity of presentation and organization
- Relevance and significance of findings
- Contribution to existing literature
- Ethical considerations
5. Reviewer Feedback
- Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations, which may include:
- Acceptance without revisions
- Minor or major revisions required
- Rejection of the manuscript
6. Author Revisions
- If revisions are requested, authors are given a specified timeframe to address the reviewers’ comments and resubmit the manuscript. Authors must include a detailed response to each comment in a cover letter.
7. Second Review (if necessary)
- The revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for a second evaluation, or it may be reviewed by new reviewers, depending on the extent of the revisions.
8. Final Decision
- Based on the reviewers’ feedback and the authors’ revisions, the editorial team makes a final decision regarding publication. Authors are notified of the decision, along with any final comments from the editorial team.
9. Publication
- Once a manuscript is accepted, it undergoes final editing and formatting before being published in the journal. Authors will be notified when their work is officially published.
10. Transparency
- We strive to maintain transparency throughout the review process. Authors can track the status of their submission through our online submission system.
