Peer review Process: Review Process
The manuscript submitted to the Journal undergoes a thorough and rigorous peer-review process (Double-Blind). Final acceptance for all manuscripts is based on quality, impact, and originality of research. The aim of the whole review process is to complete within 2-3 months. To expedite the review process, authors have to suggest at least three potential reviewers with full contact details and email addresses for their manuscript. Suggested reviewers should not be passed or present research collaborators of any of the authors and should not be from the authors' host institutions. The Editor's decision is independent of these suggestions and is final.
Manuscript review is undertaken in the following steps:
- Each manuscript undergoes an initial internal editorial review to ensure that the manuscript meets the scope and the style of the Journal. The authors are notified of the outcome within 3-7 days of manuscript submission.
- On passing the internal editorial review, the manuscripts are sent to 3-4 independent expert reviewers.
- Once all referees have returned their reports, a decision to accept, reject or revise a manuscript is made based on the referees' comments and the editorial judgment.
- If applicable the authors have conveyed the reviewers' comments and asked to answer any criticisms. In the case of substantial criticisms by a referee, the article may be sent back to the concerned referee for a second review.
- Best efforts are made to evaluate arguments given by the referees and the authors before reaching a final decision which rests with the Editor and is made as rapidly as possible.
- After acceptance, the proof version is edited and sent to the corresponding author to confirm the proofed article within 1 week
