Peer Review Process
All submissions to Community Service of Science undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of the research. The peer review process follows these steps:
-
Initial Screening: Submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the editorial team to ensure they meet the journal's focus, scope, and formatting guidelines.
-
Double-Blind Review: Suitable manuscripts are then sent to at least two independent experts for a double-blind review, where the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept anonymous. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on criteria such as clarity, methodological soundness, contribution to the field, and ethical considerations.
-
Reviewer Feedback: Based on the reviewers' feedback, the manuscript may be accepted, rejected, or returned to the authors for revisions. Authors are expected to respond to reviewers' comments and revise the manuscript accordingly.
-
Final Decision: The revised manuscript is re-evaluated by the editorial team, and if necessary, by the original reviewers. The final decision to accept or reject the manuscript is made by the editor-in-chief.
This thorough review process ensures that Community Service of Science maintains high standards of academic integrity and scientific rigor.
