Peer Review Process

The editor will firstly check every manuscript submitted. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors to be inappropriate to journal criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double-blind reviewers. Every manuscript is independently reviewed by at least two reviewers in the form of a "double-blind review". The editors then make a decision for publication based on the reviewer's recommendation from among several possibilities: Accept, Accept with revisions, Submit for review, Submit elsewhere, or Decline.

In certain cases, the editor may submit an article for review to another, third reviewer before making a decision, if necessary. The Editor-in-Chief has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process:

1. Submitting Manuscript - The corresponding author submit the manuscript through an online journal system
2. Editor/Desk Evaluation - Editor Board will identify the quality of the manuscript and the possibility of cases of scientific misconduct including authorship, ownership, and plagiarism. (some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process)
3. Review Process - EkBis employs a double-blind manuscript review process. With a double‐blind review approach, the identity of both the author(s) and reviewer are unknown to both parties. After taking the role, reviewers need to give comments on the article and its decision.
4. In case of revisions, the article is sent to the author(s) together with the reviewer's opinions. The authors are asked to respond to the comments and make the appropriate adjustments to the text. Then, the authors send back the corrected version.
5. Editor decision - The editor gives final decision for the manuscript
