Editorial Team

The journal offers a double-blind review to ensure a quality publication. The following steps are followed in the peer review process;

2. The submission is directed to the concerned Section Editor by the Editor-in-Chief.
3. The Section Editor performs an initial check to ensure the correct submission. If there is any fault in the submission process such as chronology of authors, authors’ details, or format then the submission is rejected and sent back to the author to correct and resubmit.
4. If the Section Editor is satisfied with the submission then the paper is sent to two reviewers for blind review.
5. The reviewer sends back the feedback in a prescribed format within 60 days.
6. If the reviewer’s feedback is satisfactory then the paper is accepted and the paper is sent to the Section Editor. The Section Editor sent the paper to the Paper Setter and with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief, the paper is sent for publication.
7. If the reviewer’s feedback is not satisfactory then the paper is sent back to the author for the first revision. If the first revision is satisfactory then the paper is accepted for publication. If the first revision is not satisfactory then the paper is sent to the author for second revision.
