Peer Review Policy

We adopt the double-blind peer-review process—reviewers are not aware of the authors’ identities and the authors are not aware of the reviewers’ identities. Original research article, hypothesis or theory article, review article, case report, brief comunication and protocol are peer-reviewed by at least two external reviewers in addition to editorial team, whereas the editorial, letter to editor, opinion and commentary are reviewed by editorial board members.

We make every effort to reach an initial decision within four to six weeks of submission, depending on the type and clarity of research work, research methodology used, and availability of reviewer. Based on the single or multiple rounds of review , the editorial-board can accepts or accept after revisions or reject of the manuscript.
