Archives des Sciences: A Multidisciplinary Journal is committed to providing authors with an efficient, transparent, and rigorous editorial process while maintaining high standards of scholarly quality and peer review. The journal aims to process manuscripts in a timely manner without compromising the independence or thoroughness of editorial evaluation.
Initial Assessment: The journal aims to complete the initial assessment of a submitted manuscript within approximately 7 days. During this stage, the Editorial Office evaluates the manuscript for completeness, compliance with submission requirements, relevance to the journal’s aims and scope, basic scholarly quality, and applicable ethical requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to the authors or declined without external peer review.
Peer Review: Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial assessment are normally sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise. The peer-review process typically takes approximately 10 weeks. The actual review period may vary depending on reviewer availability, the complexity of the manuscript, the need for additional expert evaluation, and the number of revision rounds required. The journal gives priority to obtaining thorough and constructive assessments rather than accelerating review at the expense of scholarly quality.
Revision and Editorial Decision: Where revisions are required, the time taken to reach a final decision depends partly on the extent of the requested revisions and the time required by authors to submit a revised manuscript. Revised manuscripts may be reassessed by the handling editor and, where appropriate, returned to the original or additional reviewers.
Acceptance to Publication: Following final acceptance and completion of all required publication documentation, the journal aims to complete copy editing, proof preparation, metadata verification, DOI processing, and online publication within approximately 7 days. Publication timing may vary when substantial production corrections are required or when an article is being assigned to a scheduled journal issue.
The timelines stated above represent the journal’s normal processing targets and are not guarantees. Individual manuscripts may require additional time because of their subject matter, complexity, reviewer availability, revision requirements, ethical or research-integrity considerations, or other circumstances affecting the editorial process.
Archives des Sciences: A Multidisciplinary Journal is committed to balancing timely publication with rigorous peer review, editorial independence, research integrity, and careful production. Our objective is to ensure that valuable scholarly contributions are evaluated fairly and disseminated efficiently while maintaining the standards expected of responsible academic publishing.
