Crystal Scientific Publishers

Article Processing Workflow

We follow a rigorous and transparent process to assess every manuscript for quality, originality, relevance, and scientific contribution—from initial submission through final publication.

Our process includes editorial assessment, a two-step plagiarism check, double-blind peer review, author revision, and a final editorial decision.

Each Stage, Clearly Explained

Learn what happens to your manuscript at every stage of our editorial and publication process.

01

Manuscript Submission

Authors submit their manuscripts to the relevant journal for initial consideration.

02

Initial Assessment by the EIC

The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) assesses the manuscript’s scope, relevance, and basic quality. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s criteria may be rejected or recommended for transfer to a more suitable journal within Crystal Scientific Publishers.

03

Two-Step Plagiarism Check

Each manuscript undergoes a two-step check using advanced software tools and manual evaluation. Manuscripts that pass proceed to peer review.

04

Double-Blind Peer Review

Eligible manuscripts are assigned to qualified reviewers. The double-blind process is intended to support impartial evaluation.

05

Reviewer Feedback

Reviewers assess originality, technical accuracy, relevance, and contribution to the field. Their comments and recommendations are sent to the EIC.

06

Revision by the Author

Authors revise their manuscripts in response to reviewer comments and resubmit the revised version for further evaluation.

07

Re-evaluation and Final Decision

The revised manuscript may be reviewed again by reviewers or assessed by the EIC. The EIC makes the final decision:

  • Accepted: the manuscript meets the journal’s quality and scientific requirements.
  • Rejected or transferred: it does not meet the required standards or may be more suitable for another journal in the publisher’s portfolio.
08

Production and Publication

After acceptance, the manuscript moves to final formatting and production. The article is then published and made available to readers worldwide.
