Okhaldhunga Journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
All received manuscripts are initially scrutinized on the basis of research paper format. If found suitable, an article is further referred to reviewers for review process. Identity of author/s is not disclosed to the reviewer and vice-versa. On feedback from reviewer, editor analyse the feedback and decides to accept, reject or revise the paper. Normally the peer review process takes around 10 to 15 days to provide feedback to authors. If the paper is accepted, we inform to the authors. The Journal reserves the right to make necessary editorial amendments in that manuscript to suit the journal’s format. Papers are accepted purely on the basis of merit. The Journal reserves the right to reject or publish the research paper.
Rather than Rejection, we believe in Revision. Our first priority will be to convert ordinary content in to quality content by suggesting revisions.
Step 1 Submission of Paper. The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the journal via e-email: okhaldhungacampus2042@gmail.com or hardcopy to the editorial board.
Step 2 Editorial Office Assessment. Editorial board checks the paper’s composition and arrangement against the journal’s Author Guidelines to make sure it includes the required sections and formats.
Step 3 Appraisal by the Editorial Board. The Editorial board checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. If not, the paper may be rejected without being reviewed any further. The quality of the paper is assessed at this point.
Step 4 If paper is original, the research paper is send to Reviewers.
Step 5 Review is Conducted. The reviewer sets time aside to read the paper. 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.
Step 6 Journal Evaluates the Reviews. The Editorial Board 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.
Step 7 The Decision is communicated. The Editorial Board sends a decision to the author including any relevant reviewer comments. Whether the comments are anonymous or not will depend on the type of peer review that the journal operates.
Step 8 If accepted, the paper is sent to publication. If the article is rejected or sent back for either major or minor revision, the editor includes constructive comments from the reviewers to help the author improve the article.
