At POLYSCHOLARS JOURNAL, we uphold a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the quality and
integrity of the scholarly works we publish. Our peer review process is designed to provide
constructive feedback, maintain
academic standards, and support authors in enhancing their research contributions. Below is
an outline of our peer review
process:
1. Manuscript Preparation:
- Prepare your manuscript in the language of your
choice, ensuring it adheres to the specific
formatting guidelines of our journal. Use clear and concise language, maintaining
appropriate academic writing conventions
and style throughout.
2. Editorial Review:
- Upon submission, the editorial team conducts an initial review to assess whether
the manuscript aligns with the journal's
scope and follows the prescribed formatting guidelines.
- Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's criteria or are outside the scope are
promptly declined, and the authors are
notified.
3. Peer Review Assignment:
- Suitable manuscripts are assigned to experts in the relevant field for peer review.
- Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, experience, and absence of any
potential conflicts of interest with the
authors or the manuscript.
4. Double-Blind Review:
- Polyscholars Journal offers the option of double-blind review, ensuring that the identities of both
the authors and reviewers remain
anonymous during the review process.
5. Peer Review Process:
- Reviewers thoroughly evaluate the manuscript's originality, methodology,
significance, and adherence to ethical
standards.
- Reviewers provide constructive feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the work,
offering suggestions for
improvement.

- Acceptance without revisions.
- Acceptance with minor revisions.

7. Author Revision:
- If revisions are required, authors are given adequate time to address the reviewers'
comments and improve their
manuscript accordingly.
8. Re-Review (If Applicable):

re-evaluated by the original reviewers or
additional reviewers.
9. Final Decision:

reviewers' feedback.
