At "The AI Strategist: Journal of Practical AI Applications ," we maintain a rigorous and unbiased peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the articles we publish. Our double-blinded peer review process is designed to uphold the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. Below, we outline the key steps involved in our peer review process:

1. Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts electronically through our online submission system. All submissions must adhere to the journal's guidelines and formatting requirements.

2. Initial Evaluation: Upon submission, the editorial team conducts an initial evaluation to ensure that the manuscript aligns with the scope and focus of the journal. This evaluation considers factors such as relevance, originality, clarity, and adherence to ethical guidelines.

3. Double-Blinding: To maintain objectivity, our peer review process follows a double-blinded approach. The identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept anonymous to eliminate potential biases.

4. Reviewer Assignment: The editor-in-chief or associate editors carefully select qualified reviewers who possess expertise in the specific subject area of the manuscript. Reviewers are chosen based on their research background, experience, and publications in relevant fields.

5. Peer Review: Assigned reviewers thoroughly examine the manuscript, evaluating its scientific merit, methodology, clarity of presentation, and adherence to ethical standards. They provide constructive feedback, suggestions for improvement, and recommendations for acceptance or revision.

6. Reviewer Recommendations: Reviewers submit their recommendations to the editorial team. These recommendations may include acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection. Reviewers may also provide additional comments for the authors to address.

7. Author Notification: Based on the reviewer recommendations, the editorial team makes a decision regarding the manuscript. The corresponding author is notified of the decision, which may include acceptance, conditional acceptance pending revisions, or rejection.

8. Revision and Resubmission: If revisions are requested, the authors have the opportunity to address the reviewers' comments and suggestions. They are encouraged to provide a detailed response outlining the changes made in the revised manuscript.

9. Final Decision: The revised manuscript and the authors' response are evaluated by the editorial team to ensure that the reviewers' concerns have been adequately addressed. The final decision on acceptance is made based on the revised manuscript's quality, adherence to guidelines, and suitability for publication in the journal.

10. Publication: Accepted manuscripts are copyedited, typeset, and prepared for publication. The finalized articles are then published in "The AI Strategist: Journal of Practical AI Applications Journal" and made available to the readership.
