Peer Review Process

The review process at The Horizon Journal (THJ) involves authors, editors, section editors, and reviewers. To maintain confidentiality and ensure impartial evaluation, THJ employs a double-blind review model.

Every submitted manuscript undergoes an initial screening by an editor. If the article aligns with THJ’s focus and scope, it is forwarded to a minimum of two independent reviewers to evaluate its content, originality, and scholarly merit. Otherwise, the manuscript is promptly returned to the author.

Each manuscript is typically reviewed within 1–2 weeks, based on the assessment criteria outlined in the Article Assessment Form for Reviewers. On average, the time from submission to publication is approximately 8 weeks, depending on the revision process and editorial decisions.
