Peer Review Process

Rigorous, independent, two-round double-blind peer-review methodology at JALIS

Double-Blind Peer-Review Model

The Journal of Advances in Library and Information Science (JALIS) utilizes a double-blind, two-round independent peer-review process. This ensures total confidentiality between authors and reviewers, avoiding any biased evaluation and preserving the highest degree of academic impartiality.

In our double-blind review process, the identities of both reviewers and authors remain strictly concealed from each other throughout the entire evaluation workflow.

Step-by-Step Editorial Workflow

1

Initial Editorial Screening

The Editor-in-Chief assesses the manuscript for scope alignment, formatting compliance, and anti-plagiarism verification (must exhibit less than 10% similarity).

2

Assignment to Independent Reviewers

The paper is anonymized and transmitted to at least two subject specialists across our national or international advisory networks without author identifying markers.

3

Two-Round Review & Feedback

The Editorial Team considers feedback from at least two reviewers before determining a decision. Detailed comments, if revision is required, are transmitted to authors without revealing reviewer identities.

4

Editorial Determination

The Journal maintains complete editorial independence. Final decisions (Accept, Revise, or Reject) are made solely by the Editorial Board Members based on scientific merit and contribution to the discipline.
