PROCESS OF MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
 
1. Editorial Check
The Editorial Team of the AIOR Journals will make a basic check to ensure that the submitted manuscript falls under the scope of the Journal. If the manuscript is out of the Journal's scope, it will instantly be rejected.
 
2. Plagiarism Check
All manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism. AIOR Journals utilizes Grammarly during the proofreading phase to ensure the originality of the paper submitted. Manuscripts containing substantives of plagiarism, dishonesty, or self-plagiarism, will instantly be rejected.
 
3. Peer Review
We use single blind peer review system. In this process, the reviewer's identification (name, affiliations, email) will remain anonymous to the author. AIOR journals adopted this policy to ensure the objectivity of the peer review. The process may take two to four weeks (depending on the editorial board) and will determine the status of the manuscript. If needed, a revision of the submitted paper may be needed, and it is the obligation of the author(s) to revise in accordance.
 
4. Acceptance/ Rejection 
Reviewers will determine whether the quality of the submitted manuscripts exceeds the threshold of publication. We give the reviewers the following options:
(1) Accepted: No revisions required
(2) Accepted with Revisions: Revisions required and must be completed before publication
(3) Rejection: The manuscript is not accepted (author(s) are welcome to re-submit anytime)
