Peer Review Process

IJDAFS employs a Double-Blind Peer Review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review procedure. Submitted manuscripts first undergo an initial editorial screening by the Editorial Office and the Editor-in-Chief; manuscripts that pass this stage are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers. Based on reviewer recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief reaches one of the following decisions: accept without revisions, accept with minor revisions, request major revisions, or reject. The final publication decision rests solely with the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. Typical timelines are: initial editorial screening 1-2 weeks; peer review 3-6 weeks; final editorial decision 1-2 weeks after receipt of reviewer reports (actual timelines may vary).
