COPE COMPLIANCE • DOUBLE-BLIND IMPARTIALITY • ZERO PREDATORY CONDUCT

Pillar 01: Double-Blind Evaluation

How Your Manuscript Is Actually Evaluated

We operate a strict double-blind system. The referees will not know your identity, institution, or seniority. Likewise, you will receive exhaustive, constructive written critiques while referee names remain protected.

01 Desk Triage 48-hour check for scope fit, format, and similarity score.

02 Peer Review Assigned to 2 active subject specialists for 14-21 days.

03 Verdict Unvarnished report: Accept, Revisions Needed, or Reject.

04 DOI & Release Typeset, CrossRef metadata minted, Open Access online.

Pillar 02: Plagiarism Detection

Zero-Tolerance Plagiarism Benchmarks

Every submission is checked via automated academic text-matching software before passing to referees.

• Overall Similarity Ceiling: Less than 15% cumulative match with published works.

• Single Source Cap: No individual cited reference may exceed 2% similarity.

• Text Recycling / Self-Plagiarism: Re-publishing verbatim passages from your own prior publications without explicit citation is prohibited.

Pillar 03: Editorial Governance

Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Standards
