🔍 CSRB Peer Review Process
📌 Introduction
At CSRB, we recognize that peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly publishing. It ensures that every article meets the highest standards of accuracy, quality, and academic integrity. Our peer review process is designed to be transparent, fair, and constructive, providing valuable feedback for authors while safeguarding scientific rigor.
⚡️ The CSRB Peer Review Workflow
📝 1. Submission
Authors electronically submit their manuscript through CSRB’s online portal, following the journal’s formatting and submission guidelines.
🔍 2. Initial Evaluation
The Editorial Office conducts a preliminary review, checking that the manuscript:
✅ Matches CSRB’s scope and focus
✅ Adheres to formatting and submission standards
✅ Meets basic ethical and quality requirements
If successful, the paper proceeds to peer review.
👥 3. Assignment to Reviewers
The Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor selects expert reviewers based on their:
✅ Research expertise
✅ Impartiality
✅ Relevance to the paper’s subject area
🔍 4. Peer Review
Each reviewer critically evaluates the submission, focusing on:
⚡️ Originality: Is the work innovative?
🎯 Significance: Does it advance knowledge in its field?
🔥 Methodology: Are methods sound and reproducible?
🖊️ Clarity: Is the paper well-written and comprehensible?
✅ Ethics: Is the work conducted and presented ethically?
Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations to help authors enhance the quality of their work.
⚖️ 5. Editor’s Decision
Based on reviewer feedback, the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor chooses one of the following outcomes:
✅ Accept — The paper is accepted as submitted.
🔵 Minor Revisions — Minor changes required prior to acceptance.
🟡 Major Revisions — Significant changes required to rectify errors or deficiencies.
❌ Reject — The paper does not meet CSRB standards and will not be published.
✏️ 6. Revisions by the Author
If changes are required, authors must revise their manuscript and submit a detailed response letter addressing reviewer and editor comments.
🔄 7. Re‑Review (if required)
If substantial changes are made, the manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for an additional round of review, ensuring concerns have been adequately addressed.
✅ 8. Final Decision
The Editor-in‑Chief or Associate Editor evaluates the revised submission and review feedback.
If satisfied, the paper is accepted for publication.
If not, it may be rejected or returned for further review.
📖 9. Publication
Accepted manuscripts are:
