Peer Review Process
Research articles or manuscripts submitted to ERRABHA are initially reviewed by the editors to assess their relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, as well as the quality of writing. Only manuscripts that meet the journal’s focus and scope will be forwarded for a blind peer review process.
The review process typically takes 1–2 months. Each manuscript will be evaluated by two reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewers are expected to complete their evaluations within a maximum of 4 weeks. In cases where there is a disagreement between the two reviewers regarding the suitability of the manuscript for publication, a third reviewer will be assigned.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts using a standard evaluation form and are required to maintain the confidentiality of all submitted materials.

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editors may make one of the following decisions:
- Accept without revisions
- Accept with minor revisions (no further review required)
- Accept with major revisions (a second round of review re
