The peer review process is a critical mechanism for maintaining the scientific integrity, quality, and relevance of academic publishing. At Studies and Scientific Researches.

Once a manuscript is accepted, it proceeds to the copyediting, proofreading, and typesetting stage. All articles are published open access under the CC BY 4.0 license and assigned a DOI.
SSECO follows the COPE Code of Conduct for Editors and Reviewers. We take allegations of plagiarism, duplicate publication, or unethical research very seriously. Reviewers and editors are expected to declare any conflicts of interest and adhere to confidentiality at all times.
