Peer Review
This journal applies double-blind peer-review process in which the identity of the reviewers and the authors are unknown to one another. This ensures impartiality and helps every manuscript get an unbiased review. After the manuscript has passed the initial plagiarism as well as quality check, it is assigned to two external reviewers for their recommendation and comments. The Editor takes a decision on a paper after receiving the comments of the two reviewers. The Editor mediates all interactions between the reviewers and authors. Peer reviews are not published. Reviewers should read the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.
Plagiarism or Duplicate Publication
This journal uses the Grammarly Plagiarism Detection Program for checking newly submitted articles. Duplicate or plagiarized publication overlaps substantially with one already published, in press, or under submission. Duplicate or redundant submission is the same manuscript (or the same data) that is submitted to multiple journals at the same time. International copyright laws and ethical conduct require that readers get to read original material. Submitted articles should not have been published or presently submitted elsewhere. Duplicate publication violates the APA code of ethics (APA Publication Manual, 2010) and will be grounds for prompt rejection of the submitted manuscript. If the editor was unaware of the violation and the article has been published, a notice of duplicate submission and the ethical violation will be published.
