The Academic Times Journal employs a robust six-step editorial process designed to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in its operations. The six steps are account creation, submission, review by the editorial team, approval or rework, publication, and certification. The third step—the review process—is the cornerstone of The Academic Times Journal’s commitment to quality and accuracy.
During the review process, The Academic Times Journal combines the expertise of its trained Research Validation Officers and its editorial team to verify the credibility and reliability of submitted research. Trained Research Validation Officers are tasked with independently verifying case study findings, including primary data, and scrutinizing any critical information by conducting field investigations or following up with original information sources. This meticulous verification process enhances the reliability of research published by The Academic Times Journal. Simultaneously, the editorial team conducts a comprehensive review to ensure that all submissions meet the following key criteria:
- Alignment with The Academic Times Journal’s format and publication guidelines.
- Adherence to established scientific principles.
- Full compliance with intellectual property laws.
- Avoidance of defamatory content or potential legal issues.
- Strict adherence to plagiarism policies.
- Clarity and grammatical accuracy of the manuscript.
These evaluations are carried out by a team of editorial members with advanced academic credentials and extensive experience supervising research at universities. The combined efforts of the Research Validation Officers and the editorial team result in a decision to either approve, reject, or request rework for each submission. This strategic editorial framework underscores The Academic Times Journal’s commitment to maintaining transparency, integrity, and excellence in academic publishing.
