Peer-Review Process

Following the submission of the manuscript to the journal, the editorial board will check whether the submitted manuscript is appropriate for the journal or not. The manuscript goes through a plagiarism check before starting the review process. If deemed suitable for the journal, the Chief Editor assigns manuscripts to the Section Editors for further processing. Then the manuscript is sent to the reviewers corresponding to their expertise.

Generally, the article is sent to a minimum of two reviewers; and the third reviewer will also be assigned in the situation where it is deemed necessary. The reviewers are given three weeks to review the article.

Double-blind peer review is applied for the manuscript submitted to Swarnadwar. It is made sure that the entire manuscript forwarded to the reviewers does not contain any information that identifies the authors and their affiliations. The review process generally takes between 2 to 3months. However, the time taken to assign the Section Editor and the initial quality of the manuscript decides the processing time. Besides, the time taken by the reviewers and the author's response determines the total processing time from the submission to the acceptance.
