Peer Review Process

IAFR employs a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure impartiality and quality. The process is as follows:

1. Initial Editorial Screening: For scope, formatting, and plagiarism.
2. Assignment to Section Editor: An editor with relevant expertise is assigned.
3. Invitation to Reviewers: At least two independent, expert reviewers are invited.
4. Double-Blind Review: Reviewers and authors are anonymized.
5. Editorial Decision: Based on reviewers' recommendations (Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, Reject).
6. Revision and Re-Submission: Authors revise the manuscript.
7. Final Decision: The editor makes a final acceptance decision.
