Peer Review Process
The International Journal of Emerging Life Sciences uses an extensive, unbiased, and rigorous peer-review process, which guarantees high standards of scientific quality, originality, and integrity in all published manuscripts according to international standards.
The journal aims to maintain a fair and confidential peer-review process that allows for objective decisions about the acceptance of submitted manuscripts while providing useful comments to improve research.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal are reviewed by means of Initial Editorial Screening, where the editorial team decides whether the manuscript is relevant to the journal's scope, original, scientifically significant, formatted properly, and complies with ethical rules for publications.
Successful manuscripts are then distributed among appropriate independent reviewers with sufficient expertise in the field. Reviewers assess the manuscripts for their scientific value, methodology, data analysis, presentation, and contribution to the development of the life sciences field.
