Editorial Policy

Peer Review & Editorial Evaluation

Every manuscript submitted to Academians Publishers undergoes a structured and transparent editorial and peer-review process. Only submissions that meet basic editorial standards are sent for external evaluation.

Initial Manuscript Evaluation

Upon submission, each manuscript is screened by the editorial team for scope, originality, and basic quality. Manuscripts may be rejected at this stage if they fall outside the journal’s aims, lack originality, or contain major methodological issues. Authors are usually notified of this decision within 1–2 weeks.

Manuscripts that pass this stage are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers for a double-blind peer review process.

Double-Blind Peer Review

Academians Publishers operates a double-blind peer review system, where the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and academic experience in the relevant field.

Peer Review Workflow

  1. Editorial Screening: Initial assessment for scope, quality, and originality.
  2. Reviewer Assignment: Manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent reviewers.
  3. Review Process: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, methodology, relevance, and clarity.
  4. Review Duration: The review process typically takes 2–3 weeks, depending on reviewer availability.
  5. Revision Stage: Authors may be required to revise their manuscript based on reviewer feedback.
  6. Final Decision: The editor makes the final decision (accept, revise, or reject) based on reviewer reports and editorial judgment.

Reviewer Evaluation Criteria

  • Originality and contribution to the field
  • Soundness of methods and analysis
  • Compliance with ethical and research standards
  • Clarity of results and conclusions
  • Adequacy of references
  • Overall quality of writing and structure

Language & Revisions

Language editing is not part of formal peer review; however, reviewers may suggest improvements for clarity and readability. Final decisions are based on reviewer reports and editorial assessment.

Non-peer-reviewed content such as editorials is clearly identified.

Academians Publishers does not guarantee acceptance of manuscripts. All decisions are based strictly on academic merit and reviewer recommendations.

Publication Frequency
  • Bimonthly Journal

  • Quarterly Journal

Open Access Policy

Following international open access standards, Academians Publishers ensures that all scholarly work published here is freely accessible to everyone worldwide, promoting the broadest possible dissemination of research.

Archiving

The journal ensures long-term digital preservation through standard archiving practices, which maintains a decentralized network of secure archives hosted by leading academic libraries worldwide. Through this arrangement, multiple copies of the journal’s content are stored across geographically distributed nodes, ensuring permanent preservation. These participating libraries manage and safeguard the archives, allowing for reliable restoration and continued access to the journal’s content in the event of any technical, economic, or environmental disruptions.

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

In addition to internationally recognized ethical guidelines, Academians Publishers applies these policies through its internal editorial workflow. All submissions are monitored by the editorial office, and ethical compliance is verified during both the initial screening and peer review stages.

Therefore, it is essential that all parties involved in the publishing process—including authors, editors, reviewers, publishers, and the broader academic community—adhere to clear ethical standards and responsibilities.

Academians Publishers takes its commitment to ethical publishing very seriously, overseeing every stage with care and integrity. We ensure that commercial interests such as advertising and reprints have no influence over editorial decisions. Furthermore, the Publisher and Editorial Board actively collaborate with other journals and publishers as needed to maintain high standards and address any publishing concerns.

    Retraction Policy

    Academians Publishers emphasizes the significance of maintaining the integrity and completeness of the academic record. The historical archive of published research should be preserved and unchanged whenever feasible. Nevertheless, there may be instances where a paper is published due to misconduct or genuine mistakes. Although editors diligently oversee the review process, detecting every instance of misconduct or error remains exceedingly challenging. Consequently, it may be essential to amend the scholarly record. The decision to modify the record must be approached with utmost seriousness. The action taken is contingent on the specific situation and might include

    • Expression of Concern
    • Correction (Erratum or Corrigendum)
    • Retraction
    • Removal

    The aim of this action is to amend the literature and inform readers, not to penalize the author(s).

    The editor of the relevant journal is responsible for overseeing an investigation into misconduct or unintentional error. Both authors and reviewers will participate in this process. The editor will determine the most appropriate way to amend the academic record. This process is guided by COPE’s Retraction Guidelines and other recognized scholarly standards.

    Small mistakes that do not compromise the integrity of the metadata or hinder a reader’s comprehension of an article—and do not involve any scientific inaccuracies or omissions—are rectified by replacing the original article with a corrected version. If an author requests this action, the final decision will be made by the Editors and Editorial Panel Members.
