Peer-Review Process
Before entering the peer-review stage, all manuscripts submitted to DIGLOSIA will undergo a pre-evaluation process. Submissions must adhere to the journal's focus and scope, author guidelines, and the template provided by the editorial board. Manuscripts must demonstrate scientific value or novelty in accordance with the journal's scope. A manuscript may be returned to the author without review if it fails to meet submission requirements, does not follow the required format, cannot be downloaded properly, exceeds the word limit, lacks substantive quality, or is poorly presented and unclear. This pre-evaluation stage also includes plagiarism screening using Turnitin, in compliance with the journal’s plagiarism policy.
Manuscripts that pass the pre-evaluation will be assigned by the Editor-in-Chief (or by Managing Editors or other Editors appointed by the Editor-in-Chief) to proceed to the peer-review stage. A double-blind peer review process is applied, meaning that the identities of the authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Reviewer comments are confidential and will not be disclosed to the authors in a way that reveals reviewer identities.
All manuscripts are subject to peer review. If revisions are required, authors must submit the revised manuscript within the time frame specified in the editorial correspondence. The peer-review process for regular article submissions takes approximately 2—16 weeks, counted from the date the manuscript enters the review stage after pre-evaluation.
We ensure that all reviewed manuscripts are treated confidentially prior to publication, in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics. The Editor will make the final decision to accept or decline a manuscript based on the reviewers' comments. Once the review process is complete, the corresponding author will be notified by email. The Editor will determine whether the manuscript is eligible for publication, with one of the following decisions: resubmission for review, revision required (minor or major), declined, or accepted without revision. These decision types are outlined in the Author Guidelines.
