Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process


  • The Egyptian Statistical Journal follows a double blind peer review process, where the reviewers do not know the names or affiliations of the authors, and the reviewer reports provided to the authors are anonymous. Your work will be evaluated solely on scientific merit, ensuring a fair and unbiased review process. 

    •  Final responsibility for editorial decisions rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.  

    • Editorial team/contact information: Contact details for the editorial team can be found on the journal homepage.

    • Queries may also be directed to the editorial team via: (fgssr_jour@cu.edu.eg)

  • Our editors conduct a meticulous initial assessment of the manuscript to determine its suitability for publication in the journal. If the manuscript meets our standards, it will be sent to at least two reviewers for an independent expert assessment of the scientific quality, originality, and validity, ensuring that your work is carefully considered at every step. 

  • The editors of ESJ take every measure to identify, detect, and stop these types of practices: Instances of misconduct include data fabrication, authorship abuse, falsification, image manipulation, unethical research, plagiarism, biased reporting, duplicate publication, and unreported conflicts of interest.

  • Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:

    • They have written about themselves.

    • Have been written by family members or colleagues.

    • Relate to products or services in which they have an interest.
