Peer Review Policy

At Elicit Publishing Limited, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of scholarly integrity and excellence in all our publications. To ensure the quality of our journals, we have established a rigorous and transparent peer review process for all submitted manuscripts.

  • Initial Screening: Upon submission, each manuscript is initially assessed by the editor to determine its relevance to the journal’s scope and its alignment with our editorial standards. This includes a check for originality to confirm that the work adheres to ethical guidelines.

  • Double-Blind Peer Review: Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two subject-matter experts, and the process is conducted under double-blind conditions, ensuring that both the authors’ and reviewers’ identities remain confidential. To ensure fairness, no more than one of the reviewers will be a member of the editorial board.

  • Selection Criteria: Manuscripts are evaluated for their scientific merit, originality, and potential contribution to the field. The editorial team reviews each submission for clarity, sound methodology, and relevance to the ongoing scholarly discourse.

  • Ethical Standards: Elicit Publishing reserves the right to reject any manuscript that contains content deemed discriminatory, offensive, or inappropriate, particularly when it targets specific cultural, religious, or ethnic groups.

  • Editorial Independence: The views expressed in manuscripts are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the editorial team or Elicit Publishing Limited.

Manuscript Review Process

  • Peer Review: All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process, ensuring the confidentiality of both authors and reviewers throughout the review process.

  • Revision Process: Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts following reviewer feedback. Authors are expected to respond thoroughly to all reviewer comments and highlight any revisions made to the manuscript.
