Peer Review Policy
When the manuscript is received for consideration by email,
it undergoes preliminary originality check with basic standards and adherence
to the manuscript guidelines. If this is fulfilled article is provisionally
accepted for peer-review. We follow double blind peer-review process, at the
next stage article goes to precisely expert editorial board member and an
external reviewer. After receiving positive review reports only, we accept the
manuscript for publication and an intimation is sent to the author(s). If the
article fails short in any area of presentation such remarks from the reviewers
are forwarded to the author(s) for necessary revision. Revised article is
expected within five days from the intimation; in case revised article is not
received within stipulated time, publication of the scheduled issue proceeds
without the awaited article and editor and publisher shall not be held
responsible for any issue arising out of such conditions.
The editors reserve the right to delete and/or alter the
content of an article as they deem it fit for publication.
