Peer Review Process and Policies

  • Initial screening process of the Editorial Board. Prior to the review process, initial screening is done by the members of the editorial board in order to guarantee the appropriateness of the manuscript for publication. The editorial board checks the following elements of the manuscripts: referencing standards, grammar, plagiarism, and other technical standards. Also, the editorial board reserves the right to filter manuscripts that are irrelevant to the Journal’s theme.
  • Blind peer-review process.  The Journal observes peer-blind peer review system where both the identities of the reviewer and the contributor are kept confidential from each other.  Since the review process could be tedious, we ask for the patience of the author.
  • Notice of acceptance or rejection.  Based on the feedback from the referees or reviewers, the author will be informed whether the Editorial Board has decided to accept or reject the submission for publication.  In many cases, the author is tasked to revise one’s submission based on the recommendations of the referees and the Editorial Board.  Both the reviewers and the Editorial Board have the final say whether to include the manuscript or not in the Journal.

Notice to publish.  A notice to publish will be sent to the author once the recommended revisions are addressed.  In this stage, we require full cooperation from the author as this stage involves editing the style, format, grammar, and layout of the accepted manuscripts.

Guidance to Authors

For style, the authors must consult the Chicago-Turabian Style (links below for further citation guidelines).  However, the Mabini Review Journal recommends that no "in-text" or "parenthetical" citations should be used.  Use footnotes instead of endnotes.

How Do I Format Footnotes in Turabian/Chicago Style?

  • Each footnote should appear at the bottom of the page that includes its numbered in-text reference.
  • For note numbers in the text and in the footer, use superscript.
  • Indent the first line of each note half an inch like a paragraph in the main text.
  • Use a short line (or rule) to separate footnotes from the main text.

Criteria for Authorship

  • By sending your submission, the author agrees to be bound to the Terms and Conditions stated in the journal’s Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement.
  • Manuscripts should be limited from 6,000 to 8,000 words only.
