Cakravala: Journal of Integrated Health, Business, and Academia applies a double-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality, objectivity, and academic integrity of all published articles. The review process involves several stages as outlined below:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening
    Upon submission, the manuscript is reviewed by the editorial team to assess its suitability in terms of scope, originality, basic quality, and compliance with the author guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected at this stage.

  2. Plagiarism Check
    Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are checked using plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts with unacceptable similarity levels will be rejected or returned to authors for revision.

  3. Double-Blind Peer Review
    The manuscript is sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Both the authors’ and reviewers’ identities are kept confidential throughout the review process.

  4. Reviewer Evaluation
    Reviewers assess the manuscript based on originality, methodological rigor, clarity, relevance, contribution to knowledge, and ethical standards. Reviewers provide constructive comments and recommendations.

  5. Editorial Decision
    Based on reviewers’ reports, the editor makes one of the following decisions:

    • Accepted

    • Accepted with minor revisions

    • Accepted with major revisions

    • Rejected

  6. Revision and Resubmission
    Authors are required to revise the manuscript according to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version within the specified timeframe.

  7. Final Decision and Publication
    After satisfactory revision, the editor makes the final decision. Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, layout, and publication.
