PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Advances in Agriculture and Sustainability operates a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed to ensure impartiality and fairness.

The peer-review process includes the following stages:

  1. Initial Editorial Assessment to evaluate scope, originality, and policy compliance
  2. Assignment to Independent Reviewers with relevant expertise
  3. Reviewer Evaluation and Reporting through the OJS platform
  4. Editorial Decision (acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection)
  5. Revision and Possible Re-review, if required

Reviewers provide recommendations to support editorial decisions; however, final publication decisions are made solely by the Editor-in-Chief or the assigned Associate Editor.
