Peer Review Process
CGR follows a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and relevance of the manuscripts it publishes. The peer review process typically consists of the following steps:
- Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts through the online submission system, including all required documents and a cover letter.
- Editorial Review: The editorial team conducts an initial review to ensure that the submission aligns with the focus and scope of CGR and complies with the journal's guidelines. Manuscripts that meet these criteria proceed to the next stage.
- Assignment to Reviewers: The editorial team assigns the manuscript to qualified and independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript for its quality, originality, methodology, and adherence to ethical standards.
- Peer Review: Reviewers critically assess the manuscript and provide detailed feedback, including suggestions for improvement. They may recommend acceptance, revision, or rejection based on their evaluation.
- Author Revisions: If revisions are recommended, authors are notified of the reviewers' comments and are given an opportunity to revise their manuscripts accordingly. Authors are expected to respond to each comment and provide a clear explanation of the changes made.
- Second Review (if necessary): Revised manuscripts may undergo a second round of review to ensure that the authors have adequately addressed the reviewers' concerns.
- Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations and the authors' responses, the editorial team makes a final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection. The decision is communicated to the authors, along with feedback from the reviewers.
- Publication: Accepted manuscripts move into the production phase for final formatting and publication.
CGR is committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and constructive peer review process. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, and their identities are kept confidential. The peer review process plays a crucial role in upholding the scholarly standards and quality of the journal's publications.
