Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts to The International Proceeding of Innovative Science and Transdisciplinary Studies undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the integrity, quality, and relevance of the publication. The peer review process is conducted as follows:

1. Initial Screening:
   The editorial team reviews each submission for suitability, originality, plagiarism (via similarity check tools), and compliance with submission guidelines.

2. Reviewer Assignment:
   Eligible manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process (double-blind).

3. Review Evaluation:
   Reviewers assess the manuscript on the basis of:

   • Originality and innovation

   • Theoretical and methodological rigor

   • Clarity and coherence

   • Relevance and contribution to the field

   • Ethical soundness

4. Editorial Decision:
   Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team will make one of the following decisions:

   • Accept without revision

   • Accept with minor revisions

   • Revise and resubmit (major revision)

   • Reject

5. Revisions and Re-evaluation:
   Authors are given a specific timeline to revise the manuscript. In cases of major revisions, the revised version may be re-reviewed by the same or different reviewers.

6. Final Decision and Publication:
   Upon final approval, the manuscript is prepared for publication, copyedited, and published in the proceeding.

The peer review process typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the manuscript and the availability of reviewers.
