Review Policy

International Society that Learn Journal applies an independent, impartial, and ethically grounded double-blind peer review process to all submitted manuscripts. All submissions are evaluated based on originality, scientific contribution, methodological rigor, and compliance with ethical principles.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are first subjected to an initial editorial screening by the Editor-in-Chief. At this stage, manuscripts are assessed in terms of their alignment with the journal’s aims and scope, academic writing quality, structural coherence, clarity of the research question, methodological consistency, and originality. Manuscripts that do not comply with the journal’s publication policies or scope may be rejected at this stage. In such cases, authors are provided with reasoned feedback, and alternative journal suggestions may be offered where appropriate.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to the relevant Section Editor. The Section Editor evaluates the manuscript’s contribution to the existing literature and its scientific merit and decides whether to initiate the peer review process.

The peer review process is conducted in accordance with the double-blind peer review principle. Manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field, with all author-identifying information removed. Reviewers are selected to ensure that they are not affiliated with the same institution as the authors and that there is no conflict of interest.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on scientific quality, originality, methodological appropriateness, contribution to the field, and compliance with ethical standards. In cases where one reviewer recommends acceptance and another recommends rejection, the editor may appoint a third reviewer or make a final decision based on editorial evaluation.

Following the completion of the peer review process, the editorial decision is communicated to the author(s). The final decision regarding publication rests with the editor; reviewer reports are advisory in nature. Accepted manuscripts are published in the appropriate issue after the completion of editorial and technical revisions.
