Peer Review Process

Overview:

All journals under Rubatosis Global Publications follow a structured double-anonymous peer review model to ensure impartial assessment, academic rigor, and publication integrity across disciplines.

1. Initial Editorial Screening:

Submissions are evaluated for scope alignment, formatting compliance, and baseline scientific quality. Manuscripts not meeting requirements may be declined at this stage.

2. Similarity and Ethical Check:

All manuscripts undergo similarity analysis to verify originality. Cases involving excessive overlap or ethical concerns are subject to rejection or further clarification.

3. Double-Blind Peer Review:

Independent reviewers evaluate submissions while maintaining anonymity on both sides to ensure unbiased and objective assessment.

4. Evaluation Criteria:

Manuscripts are assessed for originality, methodological strength, clarity, analytical depth, and relevance to the journal’s field.

5. Editorial Decision:

Based on reviewer input, decisions may include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Authors must address all comments systematically.

6. Revision and Re-evaluation:

Revised manuscripts may be reassessed by reviewers or editors until all scientific concerns are adequately resolved.

7. Final Acceptance and Publication:

Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting and formatting before final publication.
