Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process and Editorial Decision

All submitted articles are read by the editorial staff. Articles evaluated by the editors as inappropriate to the journal's criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Articles considered to be of potential interest to the journal's readership are sent to double-blind peer reviewers. Articles submitted to Egalita are reviewed by experts in Gender studies from several universities. Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editors make one of the following decisions: rejected, require major revision, require minor revision, or accepted. The editor of Egalita has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

To be published in this journal, a paper should meet the following general criteria:

  • The submitted article must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • The article provides strong evidence to support its conclusions.
  • The manuscript should present research results or literature studies in the field of Gender.
  • The article should be of interest to researchers in Gender studies and related disciplines.

In general, to be acceptable, the article should represent an advance in understanding likely to influence thinking in the field. There should be a discernible reason why the work deserves the visibility of publication in Egalita rather than the best of the specialist journals. 

Review Process: 
1. Article Submission; The author submits the manuscript through the journal’s online submission system.
2. Editor Evaluation; The editor evaluates the submitted article. Some articles may be rejected or returned before the review process. If the content and format are considered appropriate, the article will be sent for double-blind peer review by two independent reviewers.
3. Double-Blind Peer Review Process; In this process, the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers, and the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.
4. Editor Decision; Based on the reviewers’ comments, the editor makes a decision. Articles requiring revision must be returned to the editor without delay. Revised manuscripts submitted more than three months later will be considered new submissions.
5. Notification to Authors; The editorial decision is communicated to the authors.
