Peer Review Policies

The Naturae implements a rigorous double-blind peer review system to safeguard the scientific quality, impartiality, and integrity of its publications. Throughout this process, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential, ensuring unbiased evaluations free from personal or institutional influence.

Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to assess its relevance to the journal’s scope, originality, compliance with formatting requirements, and potential contribution to the field. Manuscripts that meet these criteria are then sent to a minimum of two independent reviewers possessing recognized expertise in the subject area.

Reviewers critically appraise key elements of the submission, including the significance and novelty of the research topic; clarity and coherence in the presentation of objectives, methods, results, and conclusions; strength of the theoretical framework and literature review; overall contribution to advancing knowledge; and adherence to ethical and methodological standards.

Based on the reviewers’ feedback, the Editorial Board may accept the manuscript as submitted, request minor or major revisions, or reject the submission. In cases of significant disagreement among reviewers, a third expert reviewer may be consulted. Authors are given the opportunity to address reviewer comments and submit revised versions when applicable.

Naturae is committed to a transparent and ethical editorial process, ensuring confidentiality, fairness, and adherence to established timelines throughout manuscript evaluation.
