Peer Review Policy

LEOTECH employs a blind peer review process that maintains the confidentiality of both reviewers and authors. The editorial team will assign manuscripts that successfully undergo the initial review to section editors, who will thereafter invite reviewers to assess the manuscript's originality and quality. The blind peer review procedure is a crucial mechanism for ensuring the high quality of research by offering constructive feedback to authors. The review results assist the editor to determine a manuscript's eligibility for publication. All reviewers are urged to adhere to the review guidelines established by the journal. Each article is assessed by a minimum of two expert reviewers before the editor's decision.

All editors, reviewers, and authors are required to comply with ethical principles established by LEOTECH to ensure the seamless operation of the blind peer review process. If a reviewer has a conflict of interest that could potentially compromise the objectivity of the evaluation, it could be due to financial relationships, academic beliefs, personal relationships, or professional competition. The reviewer must promptly notify the editor and decline the review invitation. Reviewers are forbidden from revealing any portion or the entirety of the manuscript's content to any entity. The review report must be submitted objectively, and promptly. The blind peer review procedure aims to be finalized within 32 days of paper submission. If more adjustments are necessary, the processing duration may be extended.
