CANDI employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of the articles it publishes. Under this system, the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential from one another.

Each submitted manuscript first undergoes an initial screening by the editors to assess its alignment with the journal’s focus and scope, submission guidelines, and publication ethics requirements. Manuscripts that meet the initial requirements are then assigned to reviewers with relevant expertise in the subject area.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on originality, scholarly contribution, methodological appropriateness, quality of analysis and discussion, use of sources and references, and clarity of presentation. Based on the review results, the editors may request revisions and, when necessary, return the revised manuscript to the reviewers for further evaluation.

The final publication decision is made by the editors based on the peer review reports, the quality of revisions, the manuscript’s alignment with the journal’s focus and scope, and applicable publication ethics and quality standards. Possible decisions include acceptance, revision, resubmission for review, or rejection.

CANDI is committed to maintaining a fair, objective, transparent, and academically rigorous peer review process, while ensuring confidentiality throughout the evaluation process.
