All manuscripts submitted to Psychostrategy: Psychology Journal and Military Dynamics undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process, in which both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other throughout the review procedure. This process is designed to ensure the objectivity, fairness, and scientific integrity of the publication.

The peer review process is conducted in the following steps:

  1. Initial Screening
    Each submitted manuscript is first screened by the editorial team to ensure it meets the journal’s scope, formatting guidelines, and minimum quality standards. Manuscripts that do not pass this stage will be returned to the authors without external review.

  2. Plagiarism Check
    Before being assigned to reviewers, all manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using reliable plagiarism detection tools. Manuscripts with significant similarity issues will be rejected or returned for revision.

  3. Assignment to Reviewers
    Eligible manuscripts are assigned to a minimum of two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. The reviewers are selected based on their expertise, experience, and lack of conflict of interest.

  4. Double-Blind Review
    During the review process, reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its originality, methodology, scientific accuracy, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. They provide comments and recommendations to help the editor make a decision.

  5. Editorial Decision
    Based on the reviewers’ feedback, the editor makes one of the following decisions:

    • Accept Submission

    • Minor Revisions Required

    • Major Revisions Required

    • Reject Submission

  6. Revision Stage
    If revisions are required, authors are given the opportunity to revise their manuscript and respond to reviewer comments. The revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for re-evaluation.

  7. Final Decision and Publication
    Once a manuscript is accepted, it proceeds to the final editing and publication stage. The final version is published in the upcoming issue of the journal and made available online as open access.
