Peer Review Process
➔ Commitment to Quality
All manuscripts submitted to Current Research Bulletin (CRB) undergo a rigorous and unbiased peer review. This process ensures that every article meets the highest standards of scientific integrity, originality, and clarity before being accepted for publication.
➔ Double‑Blind Review
CRB applies a double‑blind review process, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review. This approach guarantees an impartial and constructive evaluation based on the quality of the work.
➔ Reviewer Responsibilities
Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the subject area. They evaluate submissions for:
• Scientific rigor, clarity, and originality
• Adequacy of data and methods
• Significance and contribution to the field
• Compliance with CRB’s publication policies and ethical standards
Reviewers provide detailed, constructive feedback to help authors strengthen their work.
➔ Editorial Decision
The Editorial Board makes final decisions based on peer review feedback. Possible outcomes are:
• Accept: The manuscript meets CRB standards and is accepted as is.
• Minor Revisions: The manuscript requires small changes for clarity and completeness.
• Major Revisions: Substantial changes are required before reevaluation.
• Reject: The manuscript does not align with CRB standards or its scope.
➔ Confidentiality and Fairness
All submitted materials and review discussions remain confidential throughout the review process. The review process aims to be constructive, focusing solely on the quality and integrity of the work.
➔ Timelines
CRB strives for an efficient review process, typically providing an initial decision within 7 days. The total review and publication timeline may vary based on the subject area, availability of reviewers, and necessary revisions.
➔ Corrections and Retractions
CRB upholds the highest standards of publishing ethics. In instances of error, misconduct, or other significant concerns, CRB reserves the right to issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions, following international best practices and publishing standards.
