Peer Review Process

Nortis Journal of Sports Sciences employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure academic quality and integrity.

Submitted manuscripts first undergo an initial editorial screening. Suitable manuscripts are then sent to at least two independent expert reviewers.

Both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process.

Based on reviewer reports, the editorial decision is one of the following:

  • Accept
  • Minor revision
  • Major revision
  • Reject

The average review period is 4–8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript scope.

The final publication decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board.
