Peer Review Process
Journal of Socio-Religious and Cultural Studies (JSRC) applies a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and scholarly contribution of published articles.
All submitted manuscripts first undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with author guidelines, academic quality, and similarity screening requirements.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise in the subject area. In the double-blind review process, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on several criteria, including:
- originality and scholarly contribution;
- relevance to the journal’s scope;
- methodological and theoretical soundness;
- clarity of argumentation and analysis;
- adequacy of references and academic writing quality.
Based on the reviewers’ reports, the Editor may issue one of the following decisions:
- Accepted without revision
- Accepted with minor revision
- Accepted with major revision
- Rejected
The final publication decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board based on reviewers’ recommendations and editorial consideration.
JSRC is committed to maintaining an efficient and ethical review process. Authors will be informed of editorial decisions and revision requests through the journal’s submission system. Where necessary, the editors may request additional reviews to support fair and balanced decision-making.
