Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to JNCE undergo an initial editorial screening followed by a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s criteria will be rejected at the preliminary stage. Those aligned with JNCE’s focus and scope are forwarded to at least two reviewers, though in some cases, more may be involved. Based on the reviewers’ evaluations, a manuscript may be accepted without revision, accepted with revisions, or rejected.
Manuscripts requiring revision will be returned to the authors for improvement in accordance with the reviewers’ comments. Rejected manuscripts are also returned to the authors, who may resubmit them provided all revisions comply with the journal’s guidelines and procedures.
The Editorial Team reserves the right to edit manuscripts and manage all aspects related to publication in line with the journal’s policies. After revisions are completed and approved by the reviewers, the manuscript proceeds to the final stages, including layout and publication.
