Peer Review Process
Manuscripts submitted for publication must be original works within the specified sub-disciplines of the journal. The submitted manuscript must not have been previously published in any journal, report, or other publication, nor be under consideration by another journal.
The Journal of Psychological, Educational, and Social Sciences Research adheres to strict ethical standards in academic publishing, particularly in preventing plagiarism. Authors are therefore required to submit a plagiarism detection report generated by recognized software such as Turnitin, Copyleaks, CopyCatch, or other acceptable plagiarism-checking programs. The plagiarism report must be submitted together with the manuscript and will be used as part of the peer-review evaluation process.
All manuscripts undergo a quality assessment through a double-blind peer review process, in which each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers. Manuscripts submitted by internal authors are reviewed exclusively by external reviewers who have no conflicts of interest with the authors, ensuring rigorous and unbiased evaluation prior to publication.
If the editorial board or invited reviewers recommend revisions, the manuscript will be returned to the author(s) for revision. The editorial decision will be based primarily on the reviewers’ recommendations. The editorial board reserves the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the journal’s scope or fail to meet academic and editorial standards.
Upon publication, authors will receive a link to the published article and an official certificate of publication from the Journal of Psychological, Educational, and Social Sciences Research.
