1. Peer Review Process

Safara operates a double-blind peer review process to ensure the academic quality and integrity of published articles.

All submitted manuscripts undergo the following evaluation process:

• Initial Editorial Screening
  The editorial team first examines each submission to ensure that it falls within the scope of the journal and meets the basic academic and formatting requirements. 
  
  
• Anonymous Peer Review
  Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two independent reviewers who are specialists in the relevant field. Both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process.
  
  
• Editorial Decision
  Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editorial board makes one of the following decisions:
      - acceptance without revision;
      - acceptance with minor revisions;
      - request for major revisions;
      - rejection.

The final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board.
