Peer Review Policy
The reliability of scholarly publications depends on the independent, impartial, and ethically sound evaluation of their content. The Cardiovascular Academy Society regards the adoption of an ethical, auditable, and disciplined peer review process for its official journal as a core institutional responsibility. This policy outlines the peer review model employed and the fundamental ethical responsibilities of authors, reviewers, and editors.

Peer Review Model and Ethical Practice
The journal operates under a double-blind peer review model, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. This model ensures impartiality, confidentiality, and scientific merit in all editorial decisions.

Reviewers are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of all information and materials related to the manuscript. They must refrain from participating in the process if a conflict of interest exists and must promptly notify the editor. Reviews should focus solely on the manuscript’s scientific originality, methodological validity, ethical compliance, and contribution to the field.

Ethical Compliance and Responsibilities
All submitted manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Studies involving human or animal subjects must have valid ethics committee approval, which should be clearly stated during submission. Authors are required to disclose all potential conflicts of interest transparently and completely.

Editors are responsible for ensuring that the review process is conducted objectively and in accordance with ethical standards. Publication decisions should be based solely on the scientific merit and relevance of the work. When necessary, revision, rejection, or retraction processes will be initiated in compliance with established guidelines. Reviewer selection is based on expertise and independence, and the rights of both authors and reviewers must be safeguarded throughout the process.

Reviewers are expected to provide constructive, clear, and professionally appropriate comments aimed at enhancing the scientific quality of the manuscript. Authors, in turn, must report their findings accurately and transparently during submission and respond to reviewer feedback in a timely and respectful manner.

Institutional Commitment
The Cardiovascular Academy Society is committed to ensuring that scientific evaluation processes for its journal are conducted fairly, transparently, and in line with the highest ethical standards. This approach aims to strengthen the scientific credibility and international reputation of the journal’s published content.
