Peer Review Policy

Screening Policy & Plagiarism Policy: The draft submissions undergo Plagiarism Test; the maximum limit of similarity index allowed is 10%. The Authors are requested to make sure that this criterion is fulfilled before submission.

Besides the similarity index test the Journal Editorial team runs an initial screening test to check if the general appropriateness of work and the foundation of the paper is conceptually and theoretically fit. At this stage, the team also makes sure that the draft meets the basic requirements in terms of citation style, formatting, word limits etc. Only after considering the above two tests, the approved drafts are then sent to experts for Peer Review who evaluate it on various factors, such as relevancy of topic, comprehensiveness, original contribution to existing knowledge, language, coherence etc., and the review report is shared with the author. Final acceptance or rejection is subjected to the clauses mentioned above.
