Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. The identities of authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review stage to ensure fairness and objectivity.

Each manuscript is initially evaluated by the editorial team to assess its suitability, originality, relevance, and compliance with journal guidelines. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on originality, methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, clarity of presentation, and significance of findings. Based on reviewers' recommendations, the editor may decide to accept, accept with minor revisions, request major revisions, or reject the manuscript.

The editorial decision is final and communicated to the authors promptly. ALSJ is committed to ensuring a transparent, efficient, and high-quality review process.
