Peer Review Process

AL-QIST operates a Double-Blind Peer Review system.

Each manuscript that passes the initial editorial screening is evaluated by independent reviewers with appropriate expertise in the subject area.

The identities of authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the peer-review process.

The editorial and peer-review process includes:

1. Manuscript submission through the journal's online system.

3. Evaluation of the manuscript's relevance to the journal's scope.
4. Similarity and plagiarism screening.
5. Preliminary editorial assessment.
6. Double-blind peer review by independent reviewers.
7. Evaluation of reviewer reports.
8. Editorial decision.
9. Revision by the authors, where required.
10. Further review, where necessary.
11. Final editorial and language preparation.
12. Electronic publication.
