Review Process
Computational and Applied Science Journal (CAS Journal) conducts a structured double-blind peer review process consisting of the stages outlined below. The review process is designed to ensure academic quality and objectivity.
Initial Screening
Upon submission, each manuscript is evaluated by the editorial office to assess its alignment with the journal’s scope, compliance with basic formatting requirements, and adherence to fundamental academic standards. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to the authors without external peer review.
Double-Blind Peer Review
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. The identities of both authors and reviewers remain concealed throughout the review process to ensure impartial and unbiased evaluation.
Review Criteria
Reviewers are asked to evaluate manuscripts based on the following criteria:
-
Originality and scientific significance of the research;
-
Methodological rigor and technical soundness;
-
Clarity, structure, and quality of presentation;
-
Relevance to the journal’s scope and readership;
-
Validity and coherence of results and conclusions.
Editorial Decision
Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editorial board reaches one of the following decisions:
-
Acceptance;
-
Minor revision;
-
Major revision;
-
Rejection.
Authors receive constructive feedback and, where applicable, clear guidance for revising their manuscripts.
Revision and Resubmission
When revisions are requested, authors are expected to address reviewers’ comments in a clear, systematic, and timely manner. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation, depending on the extent of the requested changes.
Final Decision
The final decision regarding publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief or a designated editor after completion of all review stages. This decision is based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the overall academic merit of the manuscript.
