Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

JSPP follows a well-structured peer review process designed to ensure that all published articles meet high academic and ethical standards. The process is conducted in a fair, transparent, and constructive manner, providing meaningful support to authors while ensuring that submitted research is critically evaluated by qualified experts before being considered for publication within the academic record.

Overview of the Process

Submission Check

Upon receipt of a manuscript, the editorial team conducts an initial screening to assess whether the submission aligns with the scope of the journal, complies with submission guidelines, and meets the minimum quality standards required for further consideration.

Expert Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are forwarded to independent external reviewers who are subject-matter experts. These reviewers evaluate the work objectively, providing detailed and constructive feedback along with professional recommendations.

Author Revisions

Based on the reviewers’ comments, authors may be requested to undertake minor or major revisions. This stage enhances clarity, accuracy, and the overall academic quality of the manuscript.

Final Decision

Following the review and revision process, the editor makes the final decision regarding the manuscript. This may result in acceptance, further revision, or rejection, and is communicated clearly to the author.
