Peer Review Process
Every manuscript submitted to Development and Innovation in Education, Teaching and Sport Research (DINTARA) undergoes a rigorous review and selection process as follows:
- Initial Screening
- The editorial team evaluates the manuscript's alignment with the journal's focus and scope, as well as adherence to basic formatting and publication ethics guidelines.
- Manuscripts that do not meet the fundamental criteria are rejected at this stage.
- Plagiarism Check
- Each manuscript is screened using anti-plagiarism software (such as Turnitin).
- Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable similarity threshold are returned or rejected.
- Double-Blind Peer Review
- Qualified manuscripts are sent to at least two expert reviewers using a double-blind review system (author and reviewer identities are concealed).
- Reviewers evaluate the manuscript's substance, methodology, originality, and scientific contribution, providing a recommendation (accepted, revisions required, or rejected).
- Revision
- Authors revise their manuscripts based on the feedback and instructions provided by the reviewers and editors via the OJS platform within the designated timeframe.
- Editorial Decision & Publication
- The editorial board reviews the revised manuscript to issue the final acceptance decision.
- Accepted manuscripts proceed to final editing (copyediting, typesetting, and online publication).
