Peer Review
The journal exercises an editorial peer review process. The review process of the manuscript is an essential criterion before the publication of a research paper or an article. Immediately after we received the research paper we forward it to the editorial board members of the concerned subject and language. They will check the manuscript including its language, content, methodology etc. After getting the reports the chief editors will take the final decision to publish the article. The details of the report of the editors will intimate to the authors through mail. If needs they should resubmit manuscript after corrections for second peer review. Otherwise, the authors should submit the final copy of the manuscript after corrections/ suggestions within in 10-15 days. Only the review team has the right to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ the manuscript. If the manuscript is ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’, the author(s) is intimated of the decision taken by the review team. Apart from that the review team may request additional material during the review process and such materials would be scrutinized confidentially by them.
Concurrent Review
