The Journal of Language, Literature, and Innovation (JLLI) employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and academic integrity of all published articles. In this process, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process.

Each submitted manuscript undergoes the following stages:

1. Initial Editorial Screening

The Editorial Office and the Editor-in-Chief conduct an initial evaluation to determine whether the manuscript is suitable for the journal. The assessment includes the manuscript's relevance to the journal's aims and scope, compliance with the author guidelines, originality, academic quality, and adherence to publication ethics. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be rejected without being sent for external review.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject matter. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its originality, methodological rigor, significance, clarity, validity of findings, quality of presentation, and contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the field.

3. Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief makes one of the following decisions:

• Accept
• Minor Revision
• Major Revision
• Reject

4. Manuscript Revision

Authors requested to revise their manuscripts are required to submit a revised version along with a detailed response to the reviewers' comments within the specified deadline. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation when necessary.

5. Final Decision

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final publication decision after evaluating the revised manuscript and considering the reviewers' recommendations, where appropriate.

JLLI is committed to maintaining a fair, objective, confidential, and timely peer-review process in accordance with the Core Practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All reviewers are expected to declare any potential conflicts of interest and maintain the confidentiality of the manuscripts they review.
