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. Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and confidential assessments.

Review Criteria

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts according to the journal’s structured assessment form, including originality, methodological rigor, analytical quality, clarity of presentation, literature integration, and scholarly contribution.

In particular, reviewers consider:

  • Originality and scientific significance of the research;

  • Methodological rigor and technical soundness;

  • Clarity, structure, and quality of presentation;

  • Validity and coherence of results and conclusions.

Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers’ reports and editorial assessment, the Editor-in-Chief makes one of the following decisions:

  • Accept without revision;

  • Accept with minor revisions;

  • Major revisions required;

  • Reject.

Authors receive detailed reviewer comments and, where applicable, clear guidance for revising their manuscripts. Revised submissions are evaluated to ensure that all concerns have been adequately addressed.

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 after completion of all review stages. This decision is based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the overall academic merit of the manuscript.
