Peer Review Policy

Reviewers play a central role in scholarly publishing. Journal uses a double-blind peer-review process, which means that both the reviewer(s) and author(s) identities are concealed from the reviewer(s), and vice versa, throughout the review process. This means that the reviewer(s) of the paper won’t get to know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) won’t get to know the identity of the reviewer(s). Peer review helps validate research, establish a method by which it can be evaluated, and increase networking possibilities within research communities. Despite criticisms, peer review is still the only widely accepted method for research validation.

Specific types of submitted papers (research notes, LTE, etc.) will not be the subjects of the peer-review process. Those submissions are subject to the Editorial Board decision. 

The double-blind peer-review may take a minimum of 01 to 04 weeks from the date of submission. We advise all the author(s) not to submit the same paper to multiple journals. Author(s) should wait for the review status of the paper.

Journal is committed to prompt evaluation and publication of fully accepted papers. To maintain a high-quality publication, all submissions undergo a rigorous review process. Characteristics of the peer review process are as follows:

• Simultaneous submissions of the same manuscript to different journals will not be tolerated.
• Manuscripts with contents outside the scope will not be considered for review.
• Papers will be refereed by at least 3 or 4 experts (reviewers) as suggested by the editorial board.
• In addition, Editors will have the option of seeking additional reviews when needed.
  Authors will be informed when Editors decide further review is required. The journal’s Editors-in-Chief make all publication decisions based on the referees’ reports (reviewers report).
• Authors of papers that are not accepted are notified promptly.
• All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents. The double-blind review process will review all submitted papers.
• All manuscripts submitted for publication in journal cross-checked for plagiarism. Manuscripts found to be plagiarized during the initial stages of review are out-rightly rejected and not considered for publication in the journal.
• If a manuscript is found to be plagiarized (see plagiarism policy) after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will conduct a preliminary investigation, maybe with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarized beyond the acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author’s Institute / College / University, if any.
