To submit an article, you must first register in the journal's system. After registration, a password will be sent to you via email. Then, by logging into the system and going to the article submission section, complete all the specified steps and upload your article files through the same system.
The main article file must also be submitted as a supplementary file. In addition, figures and tables related to the article must be sent in separate files.
The submitted article is first reviewed by the journal's editorial board, and if initially approved, it is sent to the reviewer(s) for the peer review process.
The article is sent to the reviewers without the authors' identifying information, and the reviewers also provide their comments anonymously. In this way, the identity of the author(s) remains concealed from the reviewers, and the identity of the reviewers remains concealed from the author(s).
Each article is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers who have no affiliation with the editorial board.
On average, the time between article submission and the announcement of the initial decision is about 4 to 6 weeks. Authors can track the review process of their article through the system.
Articles are evaluated based on the following criteria:
a. Originality and innovation in the subject and research approach
b. Rigorous methodology appropriate to the subject
c. Subject significance and contribution to the scholarly discourse in the field of peace
d. Structure, coherence, and quality of article writing
e. Commitment to research ethics and compliance with publication regulations
After the reviewers' comments are received, the matter is raised again in the editorial board and a decision is made regarding the article. The final decision on acceptance, rejection, or sending the article for revision is made based on the reviewers' comments and by the editor-in-chief, and the author will be notified via email.
If the article is deemed suitable for publication in the journal, the author is required to submit the article's "ZIPERSIAN" file to the journal through the same system.
The journal reserves the right to edit and revise the text of the article.
To expedite the review and publication process, please study and follow the article writing style in the Author Guidelines section.
All submitted research articles are subject to the peer review process, except for editorials and non-research materials that are clearly identified.
You can track all stages of the article review through the same system by logging into the article submission section.
