• Blind peer review process is a method applied to publish scientific publications with the highest quality.
  

• Mediterranean Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (MedFAR) uses the double-blind peer review method in the evaluation process of all studies. In the double-blind peer review, the identities of the authors and reviewers of the studies are hidden.
  

•  In the publications submitted to the Mediterranean Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (MedFAR), the name of the author or the information that can decipher the identity of the author is removed by the editor and uploaded to the system and sent to the reviewers. The information about the authors of the publications that are approved for publication after the review process is added by the editors at the publication stage.
  

•  Each manuscript submitted to the Mediterranean Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (MedFAR) is firstly evaluated by the editor or assistant editors in terms of compliance with the writing and publishing principles. As a result of this evaluation, if there are corrections to be made by the author, the manuscript is returned to the author by requesting correction by the editors. Studies that do not comply with the writing principles will not be sent to the reviewers.
  

•  Manuscripts that are found suitable for evaluation in terms of writing and publishing principles are directed to the reviewers. At least two reviewers are assigned for the evaluation of each manuscript that has been approved by the editor. Reviewers are selected from among people who have expertise in the field represented by the article.
  

• The names of the reviewers and authors are kept confidential from each other.
  

• The evaluation period of the work sent to the reviewers is maximum 30 days. At the end of this process, the reviewers are reminded again for the work that is not reported or a new reviewer is assigned.
  

• The study that receives two positive review reports from the field evaluation is entitled to be published. The study, which receives a positive and negative review report, is sent to a third reviewer and whether the study will be published or not is determined in line with the report of the third reviewer. Corrections, suggestions and evaluation forms of the reviewers are submitted to the system.
  

• Corrections from reviewers or editors must be completed by the authors within 15 days. Reviwers can examine the corrections of a study and decide whether it is appropriate or request more than one correction if necessary.
  

• Reviewers may want to see the work they want correction once before it is published. If this request is stated in the report, the corrected version of the text is automatically sent to the reviewers by the system.
  

•  Authors can object to the reviewers’ report within a reasonable framework and with convincing data. Objections are reviewed by the journal board and, if deemed appropriate, the opinions of a different reviewer(s) can be consulted on the subject.
  

• The authors can track the status of the evaluation process of the studies submitted to the electronic system of the Mediterranean Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (MedFAR) by using their membership information. The review process should be followed meticulously, since the system only allows one change, it is necessary to wait for both reviwers’ evaluations to be concluded and the reports to be entered into the system for possible changes.
  

• Journal editors meticulously follow the corrections given by the reviewers. Accordingly, the editors may decide to publish or reject the article.
