EDITORIAL STAGE

Peer Review & Editing Process

The National Youth Research Journal is a peer-reviewed publication. Every manuscript undergoes evaluation by a series of reviewers before acceptance. Below is the full path a manuscript takes starting from submission to publication. The entire process is usually 2-3 weeks. However, based on the amount of publications it can be extended to 2 months.

Step 1

Initial Review

A reviewer reads the manuscript and evaluates its content, methodology, quality, and originality. They provide detailed feedback and recommend whether the work should move forward.

Step 2

Accept or Decline

Based on the reviewer's recommendation, the manuscript is either accepted into the editorial layers or declined. If accepted, it proceeds to the next stage. *If the author wants to appeal the decision, they can email our information support.

Author Revision

The manuscript is sent back to the author with the section editor's notes. The author makes revisions and resubmits. The section editors review the updated draft and request further edits if needed.
