Peer Review Process

IJNAL employs double-blind peer review for submitted manuscripts. Both author and reviewer identities are concealed throughout the review process. Manuscripts are initially assessed by the Editor-in-Chief for scope suitability, formatting, plagiarism screening, and minimum quality requirements. Manuscripts passing this stage are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

•        Submission received by the Managing Editor.

•        Initial desk review by the Editor-in-Chief.

•        Assignment to two independent double-blind reviewers.

•        Reviewer reports requested within 30 days.

•        Editorial decision: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject.

•        Revised manuscripts assessed by the Editor-in-Chief or returned to reviewers as necessary.
