Peer Review Policy

The Libya Journal of geographical studies (JLGS) follows a double-blind peer review system, where the identity of the authors and reviewers remains anonymous to both parties to ensure maximum integrity and objectivity.

After verifying that the papers meet the initial publication conditions, they are sent to specialized referees in the field of study, who are selected based on their academic experience and scientific qualifications. The judges evaluate the research according to specific criteria, including: originality of the topic, quality of methodology, clarity of presentation, correctness of analysis, extent of research contribution to the scientific field, and adherence to academic ethics.

The decision to publish depends on the results of the arbitration, and includes the following options:

 Acceptance of the research as is, acceptance with minor amendments, conditional acceptance with substantial amendments, or refusal to publish with clear scientific justifications.

The journal is committed to the following:

Ensuring the confidentiality of information exchanged during the arbitration process. Respect the authors 'right to respond to the arbitrators' remarks. Making publishing decisions based solely on scientific evaluation, without any influence of personal or institutional factors.  Treat research with integrity and fairness, avoiding any potential conflicts of interest.
