Peer Review Process

The Editor-in-Chief of Edelweiss: Journal Of Innovation in Educational Research screens submissions for alignment with the journal's focus. Manuscripts that don't meet criteria or fail plagiarism checks are rejected. Acceptable submissions undergo double-blind peer review by two experts, with decisions communicated within two weeks. Review outcomes include decline, resubmit, revise, or accept. Revision requires a detailed response to feedback within two weeks, potentially leading to additional review rounds. Accepted manuscripts may require minor amendments before final publication confirmation

Once a manuscript clears preliminary evaluations, it is reviewed by two independent experts through a double-blind process, keeping author and reviewer identities confidential. Comments from this review remain private unless explicitly released by the reviewer. Authors receive a decision or status update within two months. If revisions are required, they must be submitted within two weeks. The Editor-in-Chief, guided by the peer review insights and publication ethics, makes the final publication decision.

We ensure that the reviewed manuscript is treated confidentially before publication ethics.

There are four types of editorial decisions during the double-blind peer review process, which are:

Decline submission  Resubmit for review   Revison   Accept submission

Revison 
Before a final decision can be made on the manuscript, authors are required to make necessary revisions based on feedback from referees and editors and resubmit within two weeks.

Failure to satisfactorily revise the manuscript may result in its rejection from Edelweiss: Journal Of Innovation in Educational Research.
