Peer Review Process

  1. Authors submit their manuscript to the journal, ensuring that all identifying information (such as names, affiliations, and acknowledgments) is removed from the manuscript itself. The author's details are submitted separately.
  2. The journal's editorial team performs an initial screening to ensure the manuscript fits the scope of the journal and meets basic quality standards. If it does, the manuscript is sent out for review.
  3. The editor selects appropriate two reviewers for a paper based on their expertise in the subject area. Reviewers are typically unaware of the identities of the authors.
  4. Both the reviewers and the authors are kept anonymous to the author and reviewers throughout the review process.
  5. Both of the Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its merit, originality, methodology, significance, and adherence to the journal’s author guidelines. They provide detailed feedback and recommendations for improvement or decisions on acceptance, revision, or rejection.
  6. Once the reviews are completed, the editor aggregates the feedback from both reviewers. The editor then makes a decision based on the combined input, which include recommendations to accept, revise, or reject the manuscript. Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editor decides on the manuscript. The decision, along with the anonymous reviewers’ comments, is communicated to the authors for necessary improvement
  7. Authors make the necessary changes and resubmit the manuscript. The revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation.
