Peer Review:
The Process:

We follow a strict double-blind reviewing of the submitted works. We promise to conceal always the identity of both the
reviewers and the author from both parties. Primarily the submitted articles will be considered by the editors for the
confirmation of the standard and the scope of the journal. If any submitted article fails to fulfill primary standard, the same
will be rejected and the author will be communicated the decision promptly. If the editors are satisfied, they will select two or
more reviewers for detailed consideration of the articles. Receipt of works is acknowledged as soon as possible (within 3
days). If you do not get any reply, resend the mail. The editors may advise the author to revise the article for publication.

Review Time: We do NOT have any system for fast or rapid review nor do we encourage it. Decision on a submitted article
along with reviewers’ comments will be communicated to the author within 1 month. Authors should not send any query
before the period is over. However, if no decision is taken after 1 month of submission, authors can naturally withdraw and
submit elsewhere.
