Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Orbis Doctrinae: Journal of Multidisciplinary Social Sciences, Science, and Technology undergo a rigorous and objective peer-review process to ensure the scientific quality of the publication. The journal applies a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.

Review Process Stages

1. Initial Editorial Screening
The editor conducts an initial evaluation of the manuscript’s relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, structure, originality, and compliance with the submission guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet the basic requirements may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

2. Plagiarism Check
The manuscript will be screened using plagiarism detection software to ensure the originality of the content and to prevent plagiarism.

3. Reviewer Assignment
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject of the manuscript.

4. Review Process
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on research methodology, scientific contribution, novelty, and relevance to the journal’s field. The reviewers may recommend one of the following decisions: accept without revision, minor revision, major revision, or reject.

5. Editorial Decision
The editor makes the decision based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations. Authors will be notified of the decision and may be asked to revise the manuscript if necessary.

6. Re-review (If Necessary)
For manuscripts requiring major revisions, the revised version may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation.

7. Final Decision and Publication
Once a manuscript is accepted, it will proceed to the final editing and layout stage and will then be scheduled for publication.

Review Timeline

The average review process takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the manuscript and the responsiveness of the authors during the revision process.
