  1. Initial Editorial Screening: All submitted manuscripts undergo preliminary evaluation to assess their relevance to the journal's focus and scope, originality, academic quality, compliance with author guidelines, and adherence to publication ethics. 
  2. Reviewer Assignment: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least one independent reviewer with relevant academic expertise. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality, provide objective evaluations, and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Peer Review Evaluation: Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, theoretical contribution, methodological soundness, quality of analysis, clarity of presentation, relevance of references, and contribution to religious and cultural studies research. Reviewers are expected to complete their evaluations within two weeks of accepting the review assignment.
