🧭 Overview
Peer review is a critical quality assurance step that ensures the validity, relevance, and originality of research before publication. At JISDCES, we follow a structured double-blind peer review process to maintain transparency and objectivity while promoting academic rigor across our six interdisciplinary sections.
