Open Peer Review

Committed to Transparency and Innovation in Academic Publishing

Overview

At Scientia International, we embrace the Open Peer Review (OPR) model, a progressive approach to the peer review process. This model reflects our commitment to transparency, open dialogue, and academic integrity. In Open Review, both authors and reviewers are identified, and review reports are published alongside the final article.

Why Open Review?

Increased Transparency: Mutual identification of authors and reviewers promotes honest and constructive communication, encouraging open and respectful dialogue essential for a fair and effective review process.
Enhanced Accountability: Public identities motivate both reviewers and authors to maintain integrity and quality in their comments and responses.
Knowledge Enrichment: Publishing review reports alongside articles allows readers to understand the work’s context and evolution, enriching their educational experience.
Promoting Trust in Science: Transparency in the review process builds trust in published research, reinforcing credibility within the scientific community.

How Does Open Review Work?

Submission and Identification: Upon submission, authors and reviewers are informed of the open nature of the review process.
Open Peer Review: Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, with identities disclosed to authors, who are likewise identified to reviewers.
Constructive Feedback: Reviewers provide detailed feedback shared openly with authors, allowing for potential revisions.
Publication of Review Reports: Review reports, including reviewer identities, are published together with the accepted article.

Commitment to Integrity

At Scientia International, we recognize that Open Review represents a bold step toward greater integrity in scientific publishing. We remain dedicated to refining our practices to meet the needs of the academic community while upholding the highest standards of excellence.
