PEER REVIEW PROCESS

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of scientific integrity and excellence in research publication. Our peer review process is a critical component of ensuring the quality and credibility of the articles we publish. Here is the process and its stages:

1. Submission and Initial Assessment

  • Authors submit their manuscripts through our online submission system.
  • The editorial team conducts an initial assessment to ensure compliance with submission guidelines and basic ethical standards.

2. Assignment to Reviewers

  • Manuscripts that pass the initial assessment are assigned to qualified and experienced reviewers.
  • Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the subject matter to provide helpful and constructive feedback.

3. Double-Blind Review

  • Fatiakara Care follows a double-blind review process (double neutrality), which ensures the anonymity of both authors and reviewers.
  • Reviewers evaluate the originality, methodology, significance, and overall quality of the manuscript.

4. Reviewer Feedback

  • Reviewers provide detailed feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript.
  • Authors receive constructive comments aimed at improving the clarity, methodology, and overall presentation of their work.

5. Editorial Decision

  • The editorial team considers reviewer feedback and makes a decision on the manuscript.
  • Decisions may include acceptance, minor/major revisions, or rejection.

6. Author Revisions

  • If revisions are requested, authors are required to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer and editor comments.
  • Revised manuscripts undergo re-review to ensure that feedback has been addressed.

7. Final Decision and Publication

  • The final decision is based on the revised manuscript and author response.
  • Accepted articles are prepared for publication, including copy editing, formatting, and DOI assignment.

8. Post-Publication Review

  • Fatiakara Care encourages ongoing scientific discussion. Readers can provide comments on published articles, supporting the post-publication review process.
