Peer Review Process

Overview
Manuscripts submitted to the DANESIA: International Journal of Social Science and Economics undergo initial editorial screening followed by blind review by at least two independent experts. This process typically takes 3-7 weeks, aligning with standards from platforms like Open Journal Systems (OJS).​

Step-by-Step Process
1. Submission
Authors submit manuscripts via the OJS online system at https://journal.ods-publications.com/index.php/danesia. The editorial office confirms receipt and checks for completeness, adherence to guidelines, and plagiarism using tools like Turnitin (threshold <20%).​

2. Editorial Assessment
The Editor-in-Chief or section editors evaluate suitability for the journal's scope (social sciences and economics), originality, and methodological soundness. Unsuitable papers are desk-rejected promptly.​

3. Reviewer Assignment
Two or more reviewers with relevant expertise are invited. Identities remain anonymous in double-blind review. Reviewers assess novelty, rigor, clarity, and contribution.​

4. Review Evaluation
Reviewers provide detailed feedback within 2-4 weeks, recommending accept, minor/major revisions, or reject. The editor synthesizes reports and may consult additional reviewers if needed.​

5. Decision and Revisions
Authors receive the decision with anonymized comments. Revised manuscripts are re-reviewed until satisfactory. Final acceptance leads to copy-editing and proofreading.​

Outcomes
Decisions include: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject. Accepted papers are published online as open access PDFs. Appeals go to the Editor-in-Chief.
