Peer Review Process

JRCE applies a single-blind peer review process, in which the reviewers’ identities are concealed from the authors, while the authors’ identities are known to the reviewers. Each submission is first screened by the editor for scope, originality, and compliance with author guidelines, then reviewed by at least two independent experts. The editor makes the final decision based on the reviewers’ recommendations.
