The Time Period of Reviewing Process
KUJAS uses a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts are typically evaluated by a minimum of two independent expert reviewers. The time required may vary depending on reviewer availability, the complexity of the manuscript, and the speed of author revisions.
Workflow Overview
Flowchart illustrating the editorial screening, reviewer assignment, decision, and notification steps.
Important: Similarity reports support editorial assessment, but the similarity percentage alone does not determine acceptance or rejection.
Typical Timeline
Once a manuscript is received, the editorial office and/or editor performs an initial assessment for scope and compliance with journal instructions.
- Initial editorial screening: typically about 1 week.
- Reviewer invitation and confirmation: reviewers are contacted before review begins.
- Peer review period: reviewers are normally requested to return comments within 2 weeks for most papers.
- Reminder if delayed: if reviews are late, a reminder may be sent and an additional short period may be allowed.
- Author revision: reviewer comments are sent to the author; revised manuscripts are typically requested within 2 weeks (depending on the revision type).
- Final assessment and decision: the editor evaluates revisions and makes the final decision on acceptance or rejection.
- Notification: authors are notified of the editorial decision through the journal system.
- Publication: accepted papers proceed to production and are scheduled for publication in an upcoming issue.
Final decision: The editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The editorial decision is final.
