The review process generally involves several key stages:
1. Submission: Authors submit their manuscript to a journal. 2. Initial Screening: The journal's editorial team conducts an initial screening to ensure the manuscript meets basic standards and is relevant to the field. 3. Peer Review: The manuscript is sent to multiple reviewers who evaluate its scientific rigor, originality, and significance. 4. Revisions: Based on reviewers' feedback, authors may need to revise and resubmit their manuscript. 5. Final Decision: The editorial team makes a final decision on whether to accept, reject, or request further revisions.
