All manuscripts submitted to DigCompSci: Journal of Digital Computer Science and Informatics undergo a double-blind peer review process, where the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other to ensure an unbiased assessment.

Review Process Stages:

1. Initial Screening by Editor:
   The editor evaluates the manuscript’s alignment with the journal’s focus and scope, checks for completeness, and performs a plagiarism check.

2. Assignment to Reviewers:
   If the manuscript passes the initial screening, it is assigned to two reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.

3. Peer Review:
   Reviewers assess the manuscript based on originality, scientific contribution, methodology, clarity, and relevance. The possible outcomes are:

   • Accepted without revision

   • Accepted with minor revision

   • Accepted with major revision

   • Rejected

4. Revision by Authors:
   Authors are requested to revise the manuscript according to the reviewers' comments within a specified timeframe.

5. Final Decision:
   The final decision is made by the editor based on reviewers’ recommendations and the quality of the revised manuscript. This decision is final.

6. Proofreading and Publication:
   Accepted manuscripts undergo final editing (proofreading) before being published.

The typical review process takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the responsiveness of reviewers and the timeliness of the authors’ revisions.
