Peer Review Process

The peer review process ensures rigorous evaluation of submitted manuscripts to maintain high scientific standards and relevance to the field. Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editors to verify its alignment with the journal’s scope, originality, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Suitable manuscripts are then assigned to at least two independent experts in pest control, environmental science, or related disciplines for double-blind peer review, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous to minimize bias. Reviewers assess the manuscript’s scientific validity, methodology, clarity, and contribution to the field, providing constructive feedback to guide authors in improving their work. Based on reviewer recommendations, the editorial team makes a decision, which may include acceptance, revision, or rejection. Authors of papers requiring revisions must address all reviewer comments systematically before resubmission. This thorough and transparent process ensures that only high-quality, impactful research is published, advancing knowledge in pest management and environmental sustainability.
