Peer Review Process

Ensuring quality, fairness, transparency, and academic credibility through a structured review system.

Peer review in the IJRDO Journal of International Affairs and Global Strategy is a critical component of the quality and credibility of published research.

The journal follows a systematic and balanced review procedure that supports authors while maintaining strong academic standards.

Review Workflow

● First Screening by the Editors

All submitted manuscripts are initially reviewed by the editorial team to ensure they fall within the journal’s scope and meet submission requirements.

● Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to subject experts for double-blind peer review, where the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential to ensure an unbiased evaluation.

● Reviewer Assessment

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, clarity, methodology, academic relevance, and overall contribution to the field.

● Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer recommendations, the editor may decide to:

  • Accept the manuscript
  • Request minor or major revisions
  • Decline the submission

● Revision and Resubmission

If revisions are requested, authors are encouraged to carefully address reviewer comments and submit the revised manuscript within the specified timeline.

Review Timeline

  • IJRDO Journal of International Affairs and Global Strategy aims to provide a preliminary decision within 15 to 20 days of submission.
  • Review timelines may vary depending on the subject area and reviewer availability.

After Acceptance

Once accepted, manuscripts move to the production stage where they are edited, formatted, and prepared for publication.

Throughout the process, the journal keeps authors informed and provides publication support to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.
