Peer Review Policy
All manuscripts submitted to Advanced Psychological Research undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure scholarly excellence and integrity. In this process, both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other, minimizing biases and ensuring an objective evaluation. Submitted manuscripts first undergo an initial screening by the editorial team to assess their suitability for the journal. Those that pass this initial review are then evaluated by at least two independent experts in the relevant field.
Reviewers assess the manuscripts based on criteria such as originality, methodological rigor, clarity, and the contribution to the field. Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editorial team makes a decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript. Occasionally, invited papers and editorials may be exempt from this process, particularly when an entire volume is dedicated to a special theme. All accepted papers must pass an originality test to ensure the work is novel and appropriately cited, thereby upholding the journal's high standards of academic integrity.
