Peer Review Process

Bioeduscience uses an online submission and review system. All submitted manuscripts are evaluated through a double-anonymous peer review process, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other.

The peer review process is carried out based on the following policy:

1. Initial Screening

Upon submission, the manuscript is reviewed by the Editorial Board to evaluate:

  • scope relevance

  • originality

  • completeness of submission

  • adherence to journal guidelines

Manuscripts that do not meet basic requirements may be returned to authors for revision or declined.

2. Double-Anonymous Peer Review

  • Each manuscript that passes the initial screening will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the field.

  • Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers (double-anonymous review).

  • The review focuses on scientific quality, methodological rigor, clarity, novelty, ethical compliance, and contribution to the field.

  • Reviewers provide recommendations and critical comments to help the authors improve the manuscript.

3. Editorial Decision

The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief or Section Editor based on the reviewers’ recommendations. Decision categories include:

a. Reject

The manuscript is not suitable for publication and cannot be resubmitted in its current form.

b. Resubmit for Review

The manuscript requires substantial revision before it can be reconsidered. A second round of review will be conducted after resubmission.

c. Accept with Revisions

Minor or major revisions are required before acceptance. The revised manuscript will be checked by editors or reviewers to ensure all required improvements have been made.

d. Accept

The manuscript is accepted for publication in its current form or after minor editorial adjustments.

The review process typically requires 4 to 12 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and revision quality.

4. Confidentiality

The Editorial Board ensures the confidentiality of all submitted materials and all communications with reviewers. Reviewers are required to treat manuscripts as confidential documents.

5. Correspondence

All correspondence regarding the manuscript will be conducted through the journal’s online system.
Communication is directed to the corresponding author, who is responsible for informing co-authors.

Additional communication may be needed after acceptance to complete copyediting, layout, and proofreading.
