The process of reviewing articles is of particular importance for all scientific publications in the world to protect and improve the credibility of scientific efforts. The review process of all journals published by Allameh Tabatabai University includes peer and double-blind review, meaning that the authors and reviewers have no knowledge of each other's identity.
Each first manuscript submitted to the publication is reviewed by at least 2 independent reviewers. Before starting the scientific evaluation by the referees, all the original manuscripts are checked to prevent plagiarism. The publications of Allameh Tabatabai University have not shown any tolerance in the field of plagiarism and have always examined and studied all the articles registered in the journals of this university as carefully as possible to ensure that these works are free from plagiarism.
The editor of the journal ensures that the peer review process is completely confidential and that no one other than the authors and reviewers get any information about the content of the submitted work until it is published in the journal. The final decision on the initial version rests entirely with the reviewers and no external factors influence this decision. In case of disagreement between the referees, the final decision of acceptance or rejection is made by the third referee or the editorial team.
In the publications of Allameh Tabatabai University, the anonymity of all employees involved in the review process, especially the referees, is done as completely as possible by using an online management system.
To support this process, please pay attention to the following points in submitting your articles:
The first page of the submitted file should include the title of the article, authors' names, their affiliation and contact information along with email, phone number and full home address.
The second page of the submitted file should contain only the title of the article and not any other information.
All subsequent pages of the file should not contain any information about the identity of the authors.
Please do not mention the names of the authors before the summary of the article or in the footer of any of the pages.
