Peer Review Process

This journal follows Single blind peer review policy. The manuscript is sent to two reviewers (experts in their respective fields) to review the manuscript based on journal guidelines and features of quality research manuscripts. For manuscripts that require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised article is acceptable.

The journal follows the following systematic review and publication policy:

Step 1: The submitted manuscript is acknowledged within 12-24 hours of receipt.

Step 2: The manuscript/article is sent to at least two reviewers. The review process takes a maximum of three weeks.

Step 3: The review report is collected from the reviewers and the executive editor will send the review report to the author including all the terms and conditions of publication.

Step 4: If the manuscript is accepted subject to modification, the executive editor will send the review report to the author/corresponding author including a formal request to modify the manuscript within seven days as per the suggestions of the reviewers. The executive author will send the modified manuscript to the same reviewers of the manuscript to justify the modification. If the article manuscript is returned by the reviewer, then the article manuscript is said to be finally rejected. The journal will not proceed with the article manuscript. However, if there are very minor changes, the editorial board may consider the article manuscript for further modification.
