Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
Each manuscript submitted to LANGSFERA: Language, Literature, and Education Research Arena is initially screened by the editorial team to assess its completeness, compliance with the author guidelines, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to qualified reviewers through a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript's originality, theoretical foundation, research methodology, quality of analysis, significance of findings, academic presentation, and contribution to language, literature, and language education.
Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor makes the final decision. Possible decisions include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation. The editor retains final authority over publication decisions.
Review Duration
The review process is intended to be completed within approximately one month, depending on reviewer availability, manuscript complexity, and the revisions required. Additional review rounds may extend this period.
