PEER REVIEW POLICY
STJ Scientific Technical Journal operates a single-blind peer-review system until the publication of papers. Aiming to publish only high-quality papers, we evaluate them through strong peer review process that mainly considers:
- The manuscript should not be simultaneously submitted to multiple journals.
- Manuscripts should align with the scope of the journal.
- STJ strongly condemns all forms of plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts undergo thorough software checks to detect any instances of copied text, results from other sources, or self-plagiarism.
- The manuscripts undergo review by two experts as recommended by the editorial board. Editors may also request additional reviews in certain cases.
- If reviewers request revisions, authors must revise their manuscript accordingly and resubmit it to the journal for further evaluation by the reviewers.
- The Editors-in-Chief make the final decision on the manuscript based on the referees' reports. Authors are promptly notified of the decision.
- Rejected submissions will not be returned to the authors, but they will be informed of the editorial decision.
- The submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents. We advise all our editors and reviewers to uphold the confidentiality of manuscripts.
- We remind our Editors and Reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest arising from direct competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors. In such cases, they are excluded from the evaluation process.
- The review process is confidential, and we maintain anonymity regarding the individuals involved in this process.
