Confseries follows a structured editorial and peer-review process designed to ensure academic quality, ethical integrity, and timely publication. Each manuscript progresses through clearly defined stages, as illustrated in the peer review workflow.

• Manuscript Submission
  Authors submit their manuscripts through the Confseries submission platform. All submissions must comply with the journal’s scope, author instructions, and ethical standards.
• Editorial Office Initial Check
  Each new submission undergoes an initial assessment by the editorial office to confirm:
  • Relevance to the journal’s aims and scope
  • Completeness of required files and declarations
  • Compliance with formatting and submission guidelines
  • Originality through plagiarism screening
  • Absence of major ethical or legal concerns

  Manuscripts identified with major plagiarism, duplicate submission, or serious ethical issues are rejected at this stage without external review. Submissions meeting basic requirements proceed to peer review.

• Peer Review Initiation
  After passing the initial screening:
  • A qualified editor is assigned to the manuscript
  • Independent reviewers are selected based on subject expertise
  • The manuscript is formally sent for peer evaluation
  Confseries follows a single-anonymized peer review model to ensure objective and unbiased assessment.
• Reviewer Assessment
  Reviewers critically evaluate the manuscript focusing on:
  • Scientific originality and relevance
  • Methodological rigor and data integrity
  • Clarity of presentation and organization
  • Ethical compliance and reporting quality
  Reviewers submit detailed comments and recommendations to support editorial decision-making.
• Editorial Decision
  Based on reviewer feedback and editorial evaluation, one of the following decisions is issued:
  • Accepted
  • Minor Revision
  • Major Revision
  • Rejected
  Authors receive consolidated comments from both editors and reviewers explaining the decision.
• Revision and Re-evaluation
  For manuscripts requiring revision:
  • Authors submit a revised manuscript addressing all comments
  • A point-by-point response document is required
  • Major revisions may be reassessed by the original reviewers
  Failure to adequately address concerns may result in rejection at this stage.
• Acceptance and Publication
  Manuscripts accepted for publication proceed to the production phase, which includes:
  • Copyediting and proofreading
  • DOI assignment
  • Final author approval
  • Online publication and dissemination
