Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Some of the policies in Epistemic reviews:

  1. Each paper submitted will be reviewed by a reviewer.
  2. The review process uses Double Blind Review, where the reviewer doesn't know the identity of the author, and the author doesn't know the identity of the reviewer.
  3. In the review process, the reviewer considers the correspondence of the title, abstract, discussion (findings) and conclusion. In addition, the reviewer also considers the novelty, scientific impact, and references used in the paper.

The reviewers' responses will be the basis for the Editor to conclude:

  1. Accept Submission
  2. Required Revisions
  3. Resubmit for review
  4. Resend elsewhere
  5. Decline Submission

An article is refused publication due to a variety of considerations, including:

  1. The article does not fit the scope of the journal.
  2. The article does not follow the rules for writing scientific papers or the author's guidelines.
  3. Fundamental methodological errors.
  4. The author refuses to provide any suggestions for improvements provided by the reviewer without a logical basis.
  5. There is an indication of plagiarism of more than 20%.
