Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Sustainable Applied Modification Evidence Community (SAMEC) uses Plagiarism Detection Software – Turnitin to screen for plagiarism before publication:

  1. Authors submit their articles through the journal management system (such as Open Journal Systems or a similar platform) according to the journal's writing guidelines.
  2. Journal editors select reviewers who are suitable for the article's field and specialization to assess the quality and suitability of the article for the journal.
  3. Reviewers read the article thoroughly and provide an objective evaluation of the article. They typically offer comments, suggestions, and recommendations to the editor on whether the article should be published, revised, or rejected.
  4. Editors use the results of the review to make a decision on whether the article can be published, revised, or rejected. This decision can be based on the reviewers' recommendations or the editor's assessment.
  5. If the article requires revision, the authors are asked to make the changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editor. The revised article is then resubmitted for reevaluation.
  6. After the revisions are made, the editor makes a final decision on whether the article can be published.
  7. Accepted articles are prepared for publication and published in the journal. This process can vary between journals and may involve multiple rounds of review depending on the complexity of the article and the level of revision required. The main goal of this process is to ensure that published articles meet high-quality standards and are relevant to their field.
