Peer Review Policy
Junedik adopts a double-blind peer review process in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another throughout the review process.
Authors must submit two separate documents:
-
Title Page: Contains the manuscript title, full author names, institutional affiliations, corresponding author information, ORCID identifiers where available, acknowledgments, and other identifying information.
-
Anonymized Manuscript: Contains the title, abstract, keywords, main text, tables, figures, references, and relevant declarations without information that directly identifies the authors.
Authors must remove names, affiliations, identifying acknowledgments, institutional identifiers where these are not essential to the research, document metadata, and other information that may compromise anonymity. Self-citations should be retained when scientifically necessary, written in the third person, and formatted consistently with other references. Authors must not falsify, omit, or replace references merely to conceal their identity.
Editors conduct an initial anonymization and quality screening before assigning manuscripts to independent reviewers. Reviewer selection must account for relevant expertise and potential conflicts of interest. Editorial decisions are based on scientific originality, methodological rigor, relevance, ethical compliance, and the significance of the contribution. The journal maintains confidentiality and requires reviewers to provide objective, constructive, and evidence-based assessments.
