Some policies in the review of Al Karima :

Newly submitted manuscripts will first be screened by the main Editors. Manuscripts may be rejected at this stage if they are of insufficient quality, outside the scope of the journal or they are considered not original. Manuscripts that do meet the minimal requirements for publication are assigned to one of the main Editors, who sends the manuscript out for review. Reviewers are selected by the main Editors on the basis of their expertise, their availability, and such as to avoid possible conflicts of interest. A reviewer is asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound, original, relevant, clear, whether it correctly references previous work, and whether it falls within the scope of the journal.

All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening. The acceptance or rejection of articles will be decided by the editorial boards based on the review results supplied by the reviewers. There are no communications between authors and editors concerning the rejection decision. Authors whose papers are rejected will be informed with the reasons of the rejection.

All papers are fully peer-reviewed. We only publish articles that have been reviewed and approved by highly qualified researchers with expertise in a field appropriate for the article. We used blind peer-reviewing process. To ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review for submission to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. 

In short, the steps are:

1. First stage: Manuscript sent by the author
2. Second Stage: The manuscript is checked and selected by the manager and editor. Manuscripts that have been submitted are accepted, rejected, or reviewed directly by the editor
3. Third and fourth stages: The manuscript will be reviewed by reviewers
4. Fifth stage: The editor notifies the author of the revision or rejection of the manuscript
5. Revision of papers (by the author) that have been reviewed.
6. Submit a revised manuscript (by the author) based on suggestions from reviewers with the same flow as in the first stage
7. Sixth stage: Notification of manuscript acceptance by the editor will be announced if the reviewer is satisfied with the results of the revision.
8. Final stage: Process of proving and publishing.
