Peer Review Proccess

All papers are thoroughly peer-reviewed. We only publish articles reviewed and approved by highly qualified researchers with expertise in a field appropriate for the article. We used a double-masked peer-reviewing process. Detailed information about the flow from the manuscript submission (author) to the acceptance by the editor is shown in the following figure:

Editorial and Peer Review Procedure

  1. Initial Screening. The Managing Editor will screen all submitted manuscripts to determine whether they adhere to Jurnal Siyasah Wa Qanuniyah's focus, scope, and template. Manuscripts that meet these basic requirements will be accepted and further reviewed.
  2. Plagiarism Check. If the manuscript meets these two criteria, it is checked for plagiarism or duplicate publication using a similarity check program (Turnitin).
  3. Peer-review. All manuscripts that pass the initial screening stage and plagiarism check, will be distributed to two experts in the relevant field to undergo a double-blind peer-review.
  4. First Decision. A peer-reviewed manuscript will be decided once both reviewers have submitted their review reports. If both reviewers have differing opinions about the manuscript, the final decision will be handed to the Editor-in-Chief. At this stage, the author(s) will receive at least one of these decisions: accepted without revision, accepted with minor revision, accepted with major revision, or rejected.
  5. Revision Stage. The manuscript recommended for revision will be returned to the submitting author. The author (s) will have up to 2 weeks to revise the manuscripts. 
  6. Final Decision. All accepted manuscripts will go through the final editing and layout process.
