TALE is committed to ensuring the highest standards of review integrity and the extensive dissemination of high-quality scholarly content. The journal adheres to rigorous ethical guidelines characterized by transparency and equity. Manuscripts submitted to TALE are subjected to a stringent double-blind peer review procedure in which independent and anonymous referees evaluate the scholarly work. Prior to the review procedure, the editor determines whether the submitted manuscript is suitable for publication. If an earlier version of the author's original manuscript has been shared on a preprint server, complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed during the review process.
