Peer Review Policy

Prism follows a rigorous and transparent peer review process to maintain the academic quality, originality, and scholarly integrity of published research. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are initially evaluated by the editorial team to determine their relevance to the journal's scope, academic quality, originality, methodological appropriateness, and compliance with the journal's submission requirements. Manuscripts that meet the initial editorial criteria may be sent for review by qualified experts with appropriate subject knowledge and research experience. Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively and provide constructive comments concerning the research objectives, literature, methodology, analysis, interpretation of findings, originality, clarity, and overall scholarly contribution. The identity of reviewers and the details of the review process are handled in accordance with the journal's confidentiality requirements. Based on the editorial assessment and reviewer recommendations, a manuscript may be accepted, returned for revision, or declined. Where revisions are requested, authors are expected to respond carefully to the reviewers' comments and submit a revised manuscript within the specified timeframe. The final decision regarding publication rests with the editorial team and is based on the overall academic assessment of the manuscript. The journal may seek additional review where necessary to resolve substantive academic or methodological concerns and reserves the right to make publication decisions in accordance with its editorial standards.
