World Quarterly follows a double-blind peer review process. This means that both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process to ensure impartiality.

Review Process Overview:

• Step 1: Authors submit their manuscripts via our submission system.
• Step 2: The editor reviews the manuscript for suitability and sends it to two independent reviewers.
• Step 3: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, scientific merit, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
• Step 4: The manuscript is returned to the author with feedback, and the author may be required to make revisions.
• Step 5: After revisions, the manuscript is reviewed again and either accepted for publication or rejected.

Review Timeline:

The peer review process typically takes between **4 to 6 weeks**. However, the exact timeline may vary depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript.

Criteria for Review:

Manuscripts are reviewed based on the following criteria:

• Originality – The manuscript should present new research or a novel perspective on existing knowledge.
• Scientific Merit – The study should be well-designed, with valid methodology and robust data analysis.
• Relevance – The topic should align with the aims and scope of the journal.
• Clarity – The manuscript should be well-written, clearly communicating its findings.

Review Process Transparency:

We are committed to maintaining transparency in our review process. Authors and reviewers are expected to follow our ethical guidelines, and all feedback from reviewers is shared with the authors to ensure clarity and fairness.
