Peer-Reviewed Process

Peer Review Policy

Al-Dalmaj Bulletin of Natural Science employs a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the scientific quality, credibility, and academic value of all published articles.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with submission guidelines, and adherence to ethical standards. Manuscripts that pass this stage are subjected to a confidential peer review process conducted by at least two independent experts with proven expertise in the relevant field of study.

The journal adopts a single-blind or double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of reviewers (and authors, where applicable) are concealed to promote objectivity and impartiality. Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on established scientific criteria, including originality, methodological soundness, significance of findings, clarity of presentation, and validity of conclusions.

Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editorial board makes one of the following decisions: acceptance, acceptance with minor revisions, major revisions required, or rejection. Authors are given the opportunity to revise their manuscripts in response to reviewers’ comments, and revised submissions may be re-evaluated to ensure that all scientific concerns have been adequately addressed.

The final decision regarding publication rests with the Editor-in-Chief, who ensures that the peer review process is conducted ethically, transparently, and independently, in line with international best practices and the standards followed by leading scientific journals.
