Peer Review Policy

AUIJ follows a double-blind peer review process, where the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed. All manuscripts undergo an initial screening by the editorial board to check scope, originality, formatting, and ethical compliance. Once passed, the manuscript is sent to at least two expert reviewers for evaluation based on originality,  ethical standards, methodology, contribution to the field, relevance to the journal’s scope, and clarity of argument. Reviewers are given 2–3 weeks and may recommend acceptance, minor/major revision, or rejection. The editorial board makes the final decision.

This policy is periodically reviewed to ensure consistency with international peer review standards.
