Every manuscript submitted to SCIENTIKA: Multidisciplinary Scientific Journal undergoes a double-blind peer review process to ensure scientific quality, objectivity, and originality.

The peer review process consists of the following steps:

1. Initial Editorial Screening
   The editor conducts an initial assessment to check completeness, compliance with the journal’s scope, and adherence to submission guidelines.

2. Plagiarism and Originality Check
   The manuscript is screened using plagiarism detection software. Submissions with high similarity scores will be rejected.

3. Reviewer Assignment
   If it passes the initial check, the manuscript is assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the field. The review process is double-blind, meaning both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.

4. Review Process
   Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s methodology, scientific contribution, clarity, and relevance. Review outcomes may include:

   • Accepted without revision

   • Accepted with minor revisions

   • Major revisions required

   • Rejected

5. Editorial Decision
   The editor makes the final decision based on reviewers’ recommendations. Manuscripts requiring revision are returned to the author with a deadline for resubmission.

6. Re-review (if applicable)
   For major revisions, the manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation.

7. Publication
   Accepted manuscripts are scheduled for publication and proceed to final editing and layout.
