Peer Review Process

The peer-review process of Journal ANC ensures the quality and integrity of all published manuscripts. The process is as follows:

1. Submission and Initial Screening

• Manuscripts submitted to the journal are initially reviewed by the editorial team to ensure they meet the journal’s focus, scope, and formatting guidelines.
• Submissions are checked for plagiarism using appropriate software. Manuscripts with significant overlap with other works may be rejected immediately.

2. Assignment of Reviewers

• Manuscripts passing the initial screening are sent to two or more qualified reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.
• The journal adopts a double-blind review process, where the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential.

3. Review Process

• Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, clarity, methodology, significance of findings, and adherence to ethical standards.
• Reviewers provide detailed feedback and recommend one of the following decisions:
  • Accept without revisions
  • Minor revisions
  • Major revisions
  • Reject

4. Editorial Decision

• The editorial team reviews the feedback provided by the reviewers and makes the final decision on the manuscript.
• Authors are notified of the decision and provided with reviewers' comments for necessary revisions.

5. Revision and Resubmission

• Authors are required to address reviewers’ comments and submit the revised manuscript within the given timeframe.
• Revised submissions may be sent back to reviewers for further evaluation, depending on the extent of changes.

6. Final Decision and Publication

• Once the manuscript meets the journal’s standards, it is approved for publication.
• The final version undergoes copyediting, layout editing, and proofing before being published online.
