Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to Productivity undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their suitability with the journal's focus and scope, compliance with author guidelines, originality, and overall scholarly quality.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are subjected to a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject of the manuscript.
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its originality, theoretical contribution, methodological rigor, quality of analysis, relevance of findings, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field.
Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editorial decision may be: accept, minor revision, major revision, resubmit for review, or reject. The final decision regarding publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief or responsible editor based on the reviewers' recommendations and the journal's editorial standards.
Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Productivity recognizes the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in scholarly work while maintaining the principles of academic integrity, transparency, confidentiality, and accountability.
Authors who use generative AI or AI-assisted technologies in preparing a manuscript must clearly disclose such use where appropriate. AI tools may not be listed as authors because authorship requires accountability for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the work.
Editors must not upload unpublished manuscripts or confidential editorial materials to generative AI systems where doing so may compromise confidentiality or intellectual property.
Reviewers must not upload manuscripts, manuscript excerpts, or confidential review materials to generative AI systems. Peer-review reports must reflect the reviewer's own scholarly assessment and professional judgment.
