Journal of Technology and Applied Knowledge in Informatics (TAKI) maintains the standards of peer review while increasing the efficiency of the process.

**Double-Blind Review Policy**
This journal uses a double-blind review process, which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.

**Review Steps:**
1. **Submission**: The corresponding author submits the paper to the journal.
2. **Editorial Office Assessment**: The journal checks the paper's composition and arrangement against the journal's Author Guidelines.
3. **Appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC)**: The EIC checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting.
4. **EIC Assigns an Associate Editor (AE)**: Some journals have Associate Editors who handle the peer review.
5. **Invitation to Reviewers**: The AE sends invitations to individuals he or she believes would be appropriate reviewers.
6. **Response to Invitations**: Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability.
7. **Review is Conducted**: The reviewer sets time aside to read the paper several times. The first read is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are found at this stage, the reviewer may feel comfortable rejecting the paper without further work. Otherwise they will read the paper several more times, taking notes so as to build a detailed point-by-point review.
8. **Journal Evaluates the Reviews**: The AE considers all the returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, the editor may invite an additional reviewer so as to get an extra opinion before making a decision.
9. **The Decision is Communicated**: The editor sends a decision email to the author including any relevant reviewer comments.
