Peer Review Policy

Introduction

Peer review is a cornerstone of scholarly publishing at Femington Academic Publishing. Our peer review process ensures that all manuscripts are evaluated with fairness, rigor, and confidentiality. Femington follows a double-blind peer review model, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other, promoting impartial evaluation and minimizing bias.

A. Review Model: Double-Blind Peer Review

Femington uses a double-blind peer review framework for all submissions.

Key Features

  • Authors do not know the identity of reviewers.
  • All identifying information must be removed from manuscripts prior to review.
  • Editors ensure anonymity is preserved throughout the process.

Review Workflow

  • Editorial screening (scope, originality, policy checks).
  • Assignment to qualified reviewers (typically 2–3 reviewers).
  • Reviewers provide detailed reports and recommendations.
  • Editors evaluate reports and issue a decision.
