Peer Review Process

The Journal of Next-Generation Research 5.0 (JNGR 5.0) applies a double-blind peer review process to ensure academic rigor, objectivity, and ethical integrity in scholarly publishing.

In this model:

• The identities of authors are not disclosed to reviewers.

• The identities of reviewers are not disclosed to authors.

• Manuscripts are evaluated solely on their academic merit, originality, methodological soundness, and contribution to knowledge.

All submissions first undergo an initial editorial screening to verify alignment with the journal’s aims and scope, ethical compliance, and basic methodological quality. Manuscripts that pass this stage are then sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on criteria including originality, scientific contribution, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the field. Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editor may reach one of the following decisions:

• Accept

• Accept with minor revisions

• Major revisions required

• Reject

The editorial decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief or an assigned editor, taking into account the reviewers’ recommendations and the journal’s editorial standards.

On average, the peer review process is completed within 5–10 days, depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript. Once a manuscript is accepted, the final article is typically published online within 1–4 working days after completion of the production process.

This rigorous peer review process ensures that all published articles meet high academic, ethical, and scientific standards in accordance with international best practices in scholarly publishing.
