Renaissance is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality original research. It is published quarterly, with special issues released under exceptional circumstances.
Peer Review Process
Authors are limited to submitting no more than one article per year. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to review exceptions. For quality assurance purposes, all submitted research articles and papers undergo a double-blind peer review process.↳
The Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor assess each submitted manuscript. Plagscan software is used to detect scientific misconduct, such as plagiarism and citation manipulation. Manuscripts that do not meet the required formal or academic standards, or whose subject matter and content are clearly not aligned with the journal’s scope, may be directly rejected without review. Authors are notified of this decision approximately four weeks after submission.↳
Each manuscript is reviewed by multiple experts. Reviewers are selected based on the scope of the methodology and the manuscript’s subject matter. The review follows a standardized procedure, including both quantitative and qualitative aspects.↳
The review results are communicated to the authors in the editorial decision letter. Manuscripts may be accepted, revised, or rejected. This process may take up to four months.↳
Revised manuscripts are then resubmitted to the reviewers. The second review should not exceed four weeks. Authors are informed of the final decision regarding the acceptance of the manuscript; minor final revisions may be requested.
Review criteria are:
- conceptual quality of the manuscript
- soundness of methodology
- precision of objectives
- academic importance of the topic
