Peer Review Process

At Edwin Group Journals, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of scholarly integrity through a rigorous and transparent peer review process. Our peer review policy is designed to ensure that all submissions are evaluated fairly, thoroughly, and consistently by qualified experts in the relevant fields.

Review Process:

Initial Screening:

All submissions undergo an initial screening by the editorial team to ensure they meet the journal’s scope, formatting guidelines, and ethical standards. Manuscripts that do not comply with these criteria may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected outright.
Double-Blind Review:

We utilize a double-blind review process, where both the identities of the authors and the reviewers are concealed to maintain impartiality. Each manuscript is typically reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers.
Reviewer Selection:

Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the subject matter of the submission. We recruit reviewers who have a strong academic background, relevant experience, and a track record of published research in the field. Reviewers are invited based on their professional qualifications and contributions to their respective areas of study.
Review Criteria:

Reviewers are asked to evaluate submissions based on several key criteria, including:
Originality and Contribution: The manuscript should present original research that adds significant value to the field.
Methodological Rigor: The study should employ sound research methods and provide clear, reproducible results.
Relevance and Impact: The work should be relevant to the journal’s scope and have the potential to make a meaningful impact on the academic community.
Clarity and Organization: The manuscript should be well-structured, clearly written, and logically organized.
Ethical Considerations: The study should adhere to ethical guidelines for research and publication.
Review Timeline:

The typical timeframe for the peer review process is 4 to 6 weeks. However, this may vary depending on the complexity of the submission and the availability of suitable reviewers. Authors will be notified promptly if there are any delays in the review process.
Decision-Making:

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team will make one of the following decisions:
Accept as is
Accept with minor revisions
Request major revisions
Reject
Authors will receive detailed feedback from the reviewers to guide any necessary revisions.
Revisions and Resubmission:

If revisions are required, authors will be given a specified timeframe to address the reviewers’ comments and resubmit the manuscript. The revised submission may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation.
Principles for Recruiting Reviewers:

Expertise: Reviewers are selected based on their subject matter expertise and experience in the relevant field.
Ethical Integrity: We prioritize reviewers who demonstrate high ethical standards and a commitment to the integrity of the peer review process.
Diversity: We aim to recruit a diverse pool of reviewers from different geographical regions, academic institutions, and professional backgrounds to ensure a broad perspective in the review process.
Transparency: Reviewers are informed of the expectations and criteria for the review process, and they are required to declare any potential conflicts of interest.
Our peer review policy is integral to maintaining the quality and credibility of the research we publish. We strive to provide constructive feedback to authors, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields.

 

Publication Frequency

Edwin Group of Journals operates on a monthly publication schedule, ensuring that the latest research and academic contributions are made available to our readers in a timely and consistent manner.

Publication System
Our journal follows a continuous publication model, where individual articles are published as soon as they are ready, rather than waiting for the entire issue to be compiled. Once an article has passed the peer review process, been accepted, and undergone final editing, it is immediately added to the "current" volume's Table of Contents. This approach allows for rapid dissemination of research, ensuring that new findings and insights reach the academic community without delay.

Frequency of Publication
Monthly Issues: Each month, a new issue is released, compiling all articles published during that period. This ensures that readers have regular access to the latest research across a wide range of disciplines.
Table of Contents: Each monthly issue will have its own Table of Contents, accessible through our website, where readers can easily navigate and access individual articles.
By adhering to this publication schedule, Edwin Group of Journals remains committed to providing a steady flow of high-quality, peer-reviewed research to the global academic community.
