Peer Review Process

Every research article submitted to JLAST will be peer-reviewed. At least two reviewers will review every submitted manuscript. JLAST reviewing process is a blind peer-review process, rapid and fair to ensure high-quality articles are published. This process will take time approximately 4-5 weeks. 

JLAST tries as much as it can to follow these reviewing policies:

  • At least two peer-reviewers will review every submitted paper.
  • Reviewers are unaware of the identity of the authors, and authors are also unaware of the identity of reviewers (blind review method).
  • The reviewing process will consider novelty, objectivity, method, conclusion, and references.
  • Reviewers will suggest the acceptance of article manuscripts.
  • Editors will decide whether the manuscripts meet JLAST's requirements. The editors' decision is final

Here is a list of items that need to be reviewed:

  1. The novelty of the topic
  2. Scientific reliability
  3. Valuable contribution to the science
  4. Adding new aspects to the existing field of study
  5. Ethical aspects
  6. Structure of the article submitted and its relevance to authors’ guidelines.
  7. References provided to substantiate the content.
  8. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling, especially if the manuscript is written in English.

JLAST appreciates the editorial board, reviewers, authors, readers, subscribers, and audiences for their willingness to accept the responsibility, dedication, and understanding of JLAST's review policy to produce high-quality articles for journals.
