Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Every submitted article will be independently reviewed. Tataring applies blind review, where two anonymous reviewers will examine each article. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon reports and recommendations. After being reviewed, there will be three kinds of editor decisions based on reviewers’ recommendation: 1) Accept submission with no revision; 2) Accept submission with revisions; or 3) Decline/reject submission.

Article Revision

The articles sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay (normally in two weeks). The revised article returned later than 20 days without notice will be declined and considered as new submissions. The revised article can be sent to the editorial through the online submission interface.

Retraction

The articles published in Tataring will be considered for retraction in the publication if: 1) they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication) or honest error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error); 2) the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper crossreferencing, permission, or justification (i.e., cases of redundant publication); 3) it constitutes plagiarism; and/or 4) it reports unethical research. The mechanism of retraction follows the Retraction Guidelines of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
