Review Process

The JAFR manuscript review process typically involves several stages, including initial evaluation by the editor, then external peer review by experts, and finally a decision by the editor based on the reviewer reports. The duration of the review process varies depending on the journal and the complexity of the manuscript. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Initial Assessment by Editor:

Upon submission, the editor assesses the manuscript to ensure it aligns with the journal's scope and meets basic quality standards. 

  1. Peer Review:

The Journal follows Double Blind Peer review process. If the initial assessment is positive, the manuscript is sent for peer review by two reviewers relevant to the field. 

  1. Reviewer Reports:

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript's originality, significance, and validity. 

  1. Editor's Decision:

The editor carefully considers the reviewer reports and makes a decision, which could be acceptance, rejection, or a request for revisions. 

  1. Revision and Resubmission:

If revisions are requested, the author revises the manuscript according to the reviewer's comments and resubmits it. 

  1. Final Decision:

After the revision, the editor and reviewers may further assess the revised manuscript, and a final decision is made. 

  1. Publication:

If accepted, the manuscript is prepared for publication and undergoes proofreading and final editing.
