FJAR employs a Double-Blind model to ensure the highest degree of objectivity. The identities of both the authors and reviewers are kept strictly confidential throughout the entire evaluation process.
Mandatory scope check and plagiarism screening via Turnitin. Only qualified papers proceed to external review.
A minimum of two independent external experts evaluate the technical and scientific merit of the research.
Final verification and production. Accepted papers are typeset, assigned a DOI, and published immediately.
Reviewers are selected based on their specific expertise and lack of conflicting interests. We utilize an international database of scholars to ensure that every manuscript receives a rigorous and impartial critique from external experts.
All participants (authors, reviewers, and editors) must disclose any financial or professional conflicts. Reviewers are required to decline invitations if they have a personal or institutional connection to the authors.
The peer review process is strictly confidential. Reviewers are prohibited from sharing or utilizing research data prior to publication. Reviewer identities are never disclosed to the authors under the double-blind model.
Authors may appeal an editorial decision within 14 days of the outcome. Appeals are reviewed by a senior editor or the Editor-in-Chief not previously involved in the original decision process.
Note: FJAR strictly adheres to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Core Practices. Our editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit and are completely independent of Article Processing Charges (APCs) or waiver statuses.
Benefit from a fair, transparent, and rigorous external peer review process.
