Review Procedure

The review procedure for Gastro – Open Journal is designed to ensure the publication of high-quality, relevant, and scientifically sound articles in the field of gastroenterology. The process begins with the submission of a manuscript through the journal's online portal. Upon submission, the editorial office conducts an initial screening to verify that the manuscript aligns with the journal's scope and adheres to formatting guidelines. Manuscripts that meet these criteria are then assigned to the Editor-in-Chief or an appropriate Associate Editor, who assesses the content for its originality, significance, and overall quality.

If deemed suitable for peer review, the manuscript is forwarded to a panel of expert reviewers selected based on their expertise in the relevant subject area. The reviewers evaluate the manuscript on several parameters, including scientific rigor, clarity of presentation, methodological accuracy, and relevance to the field. Their feedback is compiled into a detailed review report, which may recommend acceptance, minor or major revisions, or rejection.

The editorial team communicates the reviewers' recommendations and constructive feedback to the authors, allowing them to revise the manuscript if necessary. Revised manuscripts undergo further evaluation, either by the original reviewers or the editorial team, to ensure that all concerns have been adequately addressed. Once the manuscript meets the required standards, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision to accept it for publication.

The entire review process is conducted transparently, with adherence to ethical guidelines to uphold the integrity of scholarly publishing. Throughout the procedure, Gastro – Open Journal remains committed to fostering scientific excellence and advancing knowledge in gastroenterology.
