Peer Review Process

The International Linguistics and TESOL Journal employs a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and originality of each manuscript submitted. All manuscripts received will be initially screened by the editorial team to assess their alignment with the journal’s aims and scope as well as basic quality standards. Those that pass the initial screening will then be reviewed anonymously by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the field. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on criteria such as clarity of argument, methodological soundness, contribution to the field, and adherence to academic standards.

The identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process to maintain objectivity. The average review period ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team will make a final decision to accept the manuscript, request revisions, or reject it.

This process ensures that only high-quality, academically sound work is published in the International Linguistics and TESOL Journal.
