At JILS, we uphold a meticulous peer review process to ensure the integrity and quality of published research. Here's a detailed overview of our review procedures:

1.Submission Evaluation:
Upon receiving a submission, the editorial team conducts an initial evaluation to ensure it aligns with the journal's scope and guidelines.

2. Assignment to Reviewers:
Suitable expert reviewers are carefully selected based on their expertise in the paper's subject matter. Reviewers are chosen for their academic qualifications, research experience, and knowledge in the specific field.

3. Double-Blind Review:
JILS employs a double-blind review process, where both the reviewer and author identities are kept confidential. This anonymity ensures unbiased evaluation.

4. Review Criteria:
Reviewers assess various aspects of the manuscript, including:
- Title, Abstract, and Structure: Reviewers evaluate the clarity and appropriateness of the title and abstract. They also check if the paper adheres to the standard structure, including introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.
- Content Quality: Reviewers examine the depth of the research, the validity of methods used, and the soundness of conclusions drawn.
- Originality and Innovation: The manuscript's novelty and innovative aspects are assessed to determine its contribution to the field.
- Scientific Impact: Reviewers evaluate the potential impact of the research on the scientific community and its relevance to existing literature.

5. Peer Review Reports:
Reviewers provide detailed reports outlining their comments, suggestions, and recommendations. Authors receive these reports, which may include constructive feedback for revisions.

6. Decision Making:
Based on the peer review reports, the editorial team makes an informed decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript. Authors are promptly notified of the editorial decision along with reviewers' comments.

7. Revision and Resubmission:
If revisions are required, authors are encouraged to address reviewers' comments and revise the manuscript accordingly. The revised version undergoes further evaluation before a final decision is made.

8. Publication:
Once accepted, the paper moves into the production process, eventually leading to its publication in JILS.

This rigorous and thorough peer review process ensures that the articles published in JILS meet the highest academic standards and contribute significantly to the field of study.
