Every manuscript submitted to ORDINA is reviewed through a double-blind peer review: reviewers and authors do not know each other's identities. Each article is assessed by at least two reviewers with expertise in the topic.

1. Initial screening (about 7 days). The editor checks scope, compliance with the ORDINA template and author guidelines, and similarity with Turnitin. Manuscripts with a similarity index above 20% or outside the scope are returned or rejected.
2. Reviewer assignment. The section editor invites at least two independent reviewers; all identifying information is removed from the manuscript.
3. Review (about 4 weeks). Reviewers assess originality, relevance to the scope, methodological rigor, clarity, and the quality and currency of references, then recommend: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Decline.
4. Editorial decision. The editor decides based on the reviewers' reports. If the reviewers disagree, the editor may invite a third reviewer.
5. Revision (about 2 weeks). Authors revise the manuscript and provide a point-by-point response to the reviewers. Major revisions may be sent for a second round of review.
6. Copyediting and layout. Accepted manuscripts are copyedited and typeset; authors check and approve the galley proof.
7. Publication. The article is published online with a DOI in the scheduled issue (February or August).
