Editorial and Peer-Review Policy

Journal of Cancer Research and Reviews is committed to maintaining high standards of academic quality and integrity through a rigorous and transparent peer-review process.

🔍 Peer-Review Process

Peer-Review Model

The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other to ensure unbiased evaluation.

Reviewer Assignment

• After initial editorial screening, each manuscript is assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers.
• Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and experience in the relevant field.
• All review reports are treated as confidential.

📊 Review Process and Evaluation

• All research articles are evaluated for scientific quality, originality, relevance, and clarity.
• Reviewers are typically given up to 21 days to complete their evaluation.
• If a reviewer does not respond within the given timeframe, an alternative reviewer may be assigned.

📧 Communication with Authors

• The corresponding author is notified once reviewer comments are received.
• Reviewer comments, along with editorial feedback, are shared with the author.
• Authors are required to submit a revised manuscript addressing all comments within three weeks.

Failure to submit revisions within the specified timeframe may result in the manuscript being considered withdrawn or rejected.

🔄 Revised Manuscripts

Revised submissions may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation, depending on the extent of revisions required.

⚖️ Editorial Decision

The final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of a manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief or an assigned editorial board member, based on reviewer recommendations and editorial judgment.

⏱️ Review Timeline

Under normal circumstances, the peer-review process—from submission to final decision—takes approximately 6–8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and the responsiveness of authors.
