PEER REVIEW POLICY

The manuscripts submitted are assessed by a Screening Editor for originality of work, scientific adequacy and plagiarism. The manuscripts if fall within the scope of the journal and have an acceptable quality would be assigned to a minimum of 2 external reviewers for peer-review. We follow a double blinded review system to ensure a high-quality, fair, and unbiased peer-review process of every manuscript submitted. The assigned reviewers are given one week to respond to the review mail and further two weeks to review the manuscript. The average time for manuscript review takes around 3-4 weeks under regular submission. The reviewers submit their reports to the Editor for further processing. When all reviewers have submitted their reports, the Editor compiles the comments and can consider the manuscript for possible publication unaltered, consider after minor/major changes or reject the manuscript. The revised manuscript is reviewed after the changes have been made by the authors and accepted if it meets the publication ethics and author guidelines.

The manuscripts are further assessed, and the corresponding author is informed if the article has been accepted or rejected.

The editorial board has a right to reject the manuscript if it is found with inappropriateness of content, inadequate quality, or inaccuracy in results.
