Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to Journal Scientific and Applied Research are subject to peer review.
Criteria for acceptance will be appropriateness to the field of the Journal, taking into account the merit of the content and presentation.
Papers should be clearly written. Abstracts should be self-contained and informative of what was learned from the research. Rigorous argument and presentation are expected throughout.
Papers will be refereed in the manner customary with scientific journals before being accepted for publication.
Upon receiving a manuscript, two members of the Editorial Board will examine it and if the paper is out of scope of the journal or does not meet the basic criteria for a journal article, it will be immediately rejected without further review. Otherwise, the Editor-in-Chief will solicit reviews from at least two external referees.
Based on the reviews, the Editor will make the decision on paper acceptance, or solicit additional reviews if the decision in unclear.
Possible decisions are
- Accept in Present Form (without change)
- Consider after Minor Changes (The author will receive feedback and be asked to submit an amended version addressing the reviewers’ concerns. The Editor will check the amended manuscript and ensure the concerns have been addressed. Once satisfied, the Editor can accept the manuscript.)
- Consider after Major Changes (The recommendation is communicated to the authors. The authors are expected to apply the revisions in their paper in accordance with the changes suggested by the reviewers and to submit their revised paper on time. Once the revised paper is submitted, the Editor will distribute the revised paper to the reviewers for approval. If the reviewers approve the revised version, the paper is accepted for publication, if not, it is rejected.)
- Reject (The paper is immediately rejected if the editor recommends rejecting. Also, if the majority of the reviewers recommend rejecting the paper, the rejection is immediate.)
The peer review process is single blinded; that is, the reviewers know the author(s) of the paper are, but the author(s) do not have access to the information of peer reviewers.
This journal requires that: "The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration."

The editors also have the responsibility to assure the greatest transparency towards the authors during the whole evaluation process.
Responsibilities of Reviewers
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Manuscripts submitted to Journal Scientific and Applied Research will be considered for publication with the understanding that the same work has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Co-authors
Each co-author is responsible for the correct presentation of the article and its contents, assuring the research originality and the fact that the article hasn’t been published in other journal.
