All manuscripts submitted to SABANA: Journal of Dryland Agriculture & Innovation (JDAI) undergo a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.

Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two reviewers with relevant expertise and competence in the subject area of the manuscript. The review focuses on key aspects including research novelty, methodological rigor and quality, scientific contribution, relevance to the journal's focus and scope, and the overall quality of presentation.

Based on the reviewers' evaluations, the Editor considers their recommendations and makes the final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript. Editorial decisions are made objectively, taking into account the scientific quality and publication standards of the journal.
