Review Policy

The International Academic Journal of Humanities follows a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the publication of high-quality, original research. The journal is committed to fairness, confidentiality, and academic integrity in all aspects of manuscript evaluation.

Key Elements of the Review Policy:

• Double-Blind Peer Review:
  The journal uses a double-blind peer review system, where both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other to ensure impartial evaluation.

• Reviewer Selection:
  Reviewers are selected based on their academic expertise and subject relevance to the manuscript. Reviewers must have no conflicts of interest with the authors or the research.

• Evaluation Criteria:
  Manuscripts are assessed based on originality, relevance, methodology, clarity, academic contribution, ethical standards, and compliance with submission guidelines.

• Review Timeline:
  The editorial team strives to complete the initial review process within 4–6 weeks. However, this may vary depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity.

• Confidentiality:
  All submitted manuscripts and reviewer comments are treated as confidential. Reviewers are expected to maintain confidentiality and not use the material for personal or academic gain.

• Constructive Feedback:
  Reviewers are encouraged to provide objective, detailed, and constructive feedback to help authors improve their work. Personal criticism is discouraged.

• Editorial Decision:
  Based on reviewer reports, the editorial board may decide to: accept the manuscript, request revisions (minor or major), or reject it. The final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

• Revised Submissions:
  Authors asked to revise must respond to each reviewer comment clearly and resubmit within the specified timeframe. Revised submissions may be sent back for further review.

• Appeals:
  Authors may appeal editorial decisions by submitting a written justification. Appeals will be reviewed by the editorial board, and a final decision will be communicated.

By submitting to the International Academic Journal of Humanities, authors agree to participate in the peer review process and respect its outcomes as part of maintaining academic standards.
