AEST follows a double-blind review process. All papers are initially checked for similarity using Turnitin. Papers passing plagiarism checks are assigned by Scientific Committee members to 2–3 reviewers for evaluation using structured reporting forms. Based on reviewers’ reports, the editor decides whether the paper is: accepted, accepted with minor/major revisions, or rejected.
