Peer Review Process
Konfiks Journal is committed to maintaining the integrity of the peer review process and upholding international standards of scholarly publication ethics and quality. All submitted manuscripts undergo a single-blind peer review, in which the reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities, while the reviewers’ identities remain anonymous.
Stage 1: Editorial Screening
Upon submission, the editor conducts an initial assessment to determine the manuscript’s suitability for further consideration. This assessment includes:
-
alignment with the journal’s aims and scope;
-
compliance with the author guidelines and publication ethics;
-
evaluation of the manuscript’s originality, scientific contribution, and relevance to the academic community.
The editor may issue a desk rejection if the manuscript does not meet these criteria. Manuscripts that pass this stage proceed to peer review.
Stage 2: Peer Review Process (Single-Blind Review)
The editor assigns independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript’s subject area. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:
-
methodological rigor and analytical validity;
-
clarity and coherence of arguments and discussion;
-
adequacy and consistency of references;
-
the manuscript’s contribution to the advancement of knowledge.
Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editor makes an editorial decision: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
Stage 3: Revision and Resubmission
Authors are required to revise their manuscript in accordance with the reviewers’ comments and the editor’s decision. The revised submission must include a detailed response to reviewers outlining the changes made.
The editor may request additional revisions or reject the manuscript if the revisions are deemed insufficient. Manuscripts that satisfy the journal’s quality standards are accepted for publication.
