Peer Review Policy

Peer Review Policy

Cognitio Litterarum adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the academic quality and integrity of all published articles.

1. Double-Blind Review

   • All submitted manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.

2. Number of Reviewers

   • Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise in the field.

3. Role of the Editorial Team

   • The Editors are responsible for:

     • Assigning appropriate reviewers,

     • Ensuring compliance with journal guidelines and formatting requirements,

     • Overseeing the copy-editing and production stages.

4. Revision Process

   • Based on reviewers’ reports, the editorial team may request:

     • Minor revisions (small corrections without affecting the overall structure or arguments),

     • Major revisions (substantial changes, additional data, or clarification of arguments),

     • Or recommend rejection if the manuscript does not meet academic standards.

   • Authors are expected to address all reviewer comments and resubmit within the specified timeline. Resubmitted manuscripts may be sent back to reviewers for further evaluation.

5. Confidentiality and Transparency

   • All peer review reports are treated as strictly confidential.

   • Reviewer comments are shared only with the editorial team and the corresponding author(s).

   • The journal ensures transparency by clearly documenting the peer review process, while protecting the anonymity of reviewers.

6. Final Decision

   • The final decision to accept or reject a manuscript rests with the Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the overall academic quality of the submission.
