Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are initially screened by the Editorial Office to ensure that they comply with the journal's aims, scope, and submission requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's criteria may be rejected without undergoing external peer review.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to the Editor for further evaluation and subsequently sent to independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editor may make one of the following decisions:

  • Accept
  • Minor Revision
  • Major Revision
  • Reject

The Editor-in-Chief of JIFKA has the final authority to determine whether a manuscript is accepted for publication.
