Review Policy adopted for submitted manuscripts
We follow double-blind peer-reviewing for all the manuscripts submitted by authors without any
discrimination. Reviewers are allowed to take a maximum of 3 weeks’ time for completing the
review of the paper. In case the reviewed paper is not received within the stipulated period, a
reminder is sent to the reviewer allowing an additional one week time for reviewing. A paper is sent to two reviewers selected by the Editorial Board amongst the confidential panel of
reviewers. After receiving the review report of the reviewer, the authors are accordingly
intimated. The authors are expected to make modifications/revisions of their manuscript within
the shortest period of time as suggested by the reviewers. After the final review reports authors
are intimated about the acceptance of their manuscript by the Editor-in-Chief.
In case the author’s manuscript is not found suitable for publication by the Editorial
Board the authors will be intimated by the Editor-in-chief soon after receiving the manuscript or
after the preliminary comments of the reviewer.
