The peer review process typically involves several steps:
Submission: The author submits the manuscript to a journal. Editorial Review: The journal editor conducts an initial review to determine if the manuscript fits the journal's scope and standards. Reviewer Selection: The editor selects experts in the field to review the manuscript. These reviewers are often researchers with relevant expertise. Review Process: The selected reviewers critically evaluate the manuscript, providing feedback on its strengths and weaknesses. Decision: Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editor makes a decision: accept, revise, or reject the manuscript. Revisions: If revisions are required, the author addresses the reviewers' comments and resubmits the manuscript. Final Decision: The editor makes a final decision based on the revised manuscript.
