Peer-Review Process

Game Nexus employs a rigorous double-blind anonymous peer-review process to ensure high academic standards, impartiality, and scholarly excellence.

Key features of the review process include:

  1. Initial Screening
    Submitted manuscripts undergo evaluation by the editorial office for scope, quality, structure, and adherence to journal guidelines.

  2. Assignment to Reviewers
    Each manuscript is sent to two or three expert reviewers, matched based on specialization and methodological expertise.

  3. Double-Blind Review
    both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the entire process to promote fairness and prevent bias.

  4. Evaluation Criteria
    Reviewers assess originality, methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, clarity of presentation, ethical compliance, and relevance.

  5. Decision Process
    Based on reviewers’ reports, the editor may issue a decision of:

    • Accept

    • Minor revision

    • Major revision

    • Reject

  6. Revision and Final Assessment
    Updated manuscripts undergo further evaluation until the editor is satisfied with the scientific quality and integrity of the submission.

The typical review timeline ranges from four to eight weeks, depending on reviewer availability and complexity of the manuscript.
