Review Process

Peer Review Process and Editorial Decision

All submitted manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's criteria will be rejected immediately without an external review.

Manuscripts that are considered potentially valuable to readers will be sent to double-blind reviewers (where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous). Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor will make a decision with one of the following outcomes: rejected, requires major revisions, requires minor revisions, or accepted.

The Editor-in-Chief of D'Stijl has the authority to decide which manuscripts will be published.

Review Process Flow:

1. Author submits the manuscript
2. Editor evaluates the manuscript (some may be rejected or returned before the review process)
3. Double-blind peer review process
4. Editor makes a decision
5. Authors receive review feedback and confirmation
