PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Trivent Publishing is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and scholarly quality in all its publications. To ensure the originality, reliability, and academic relevance of the research we publish, all scholarly manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process conducted by independent experts in the relevant field.

All  monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings, and journal articles published by Trivent Publishing are subject to an appropriate peer review procedure.

The standard model used by Trivent is double-blind peer review, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential. Depending on the type of publication, specific review procedures may be coordinated by the series editor, volume editor, or journal editorial board under the supervision of the publisher.

EDITORIAL SCREENING

Manuscripts are submitted to the appropriate editorial contact, which may include the project editor, series editor, or volume editor responsible for the publication. The editorial team conducts an initial assessment to determine whether the submission falls within the scope of the proposed publication or series and whether it meets the basic academic and ethical standards required for peer review.

Submissions that do not meet these criteria may be declined at this stage.

ANONYMISATION AND SELECTION OF REVIEWERS

To ensure an impartial and objective evaluation, Trivent Publishing follows a double-blind peer review model. Identifying information is removed from the manuscript before it is sent for review.

Each manuscript is normally evaluated by two independent reviewers with recognised expertise in the relevant academic field. Reviewers are selected based on their scholarly competence and institutional affiliation and must not have conflicts of interest related to the submission.

PEER REVIEW EVALUATION

Reviewers are asked to evaluate the manuscript according to recognised academic criteria, including:

• originality and contribution to the field
• methodological soundness and use of sources
• clarity of argument and structure
• relevance to the discipline or research area

Reviewers provide detailed and constructive feedback and recommend one of the following outcomes:

• acceptance
• acceptance with minor revisions
• major revisions required
• rejection

REVISION AND EDITORIAL DECISION

Authors are invited to respond to reviewers’ comments and submit revised versions of their manuscript when revisions are required.

The editorial team evaluates the revised submission and makes the final decision regarding publication, taking into account the reviewers’ reports and the extent to which the requested revisions have been addressed.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the evaluation or publication of a manuscript.

Where such conflicts exist, alternative reviewers or editors will be appointed in order to ensure an independent and impartial review process.

BECOMING A PEER REVIEWER

Trivent Publishing welcomes scholars who are interested in contributing to the peer review process.

Reviewers are expected to follow the ethical principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, including maintaining confidentiality, declaring potential conflicts of interest, and providing objective and constructive evaluations.
