At the heart of Research Rival is its robust and transparent peer-review system. Unlike traditional journals, which often face criticism for lengthy review times and opaque decision-making, Research Rival employs a double-blind peer-review process that ensures fairness and impartiality. Reviewers are carefully selected based on their expertise, and authors receive detailed feedback to help refine their work. The journal also offers an open peer-review option, where reviewers’ comments and authors’ responses are published alongside the final article, fostering greater accountability and collaboration.
