Double-Blind Peer Review Process

All papers submitted to our journal are subjected to rigorous, editorial review followed by double-blind peer review. We send articles to the subject experts to take their scientific view on the quality of content, article structure, language and reference correctness.

Every manuscript is reviewed in fairness based on the intellectual content of the paper despite gender, race, ethnicity, religion, nor citizenry, nor of the author(s).

Any conflict of interest observed during the review process will be communicated to the author. 

All information about the manuscript is kept confidential. Reason for the rejection of publication of an article will be communicated to the author and editor.

We are unveiling the review parameters and editorial workflow chart here in the peer review policy. Authors can follow the review process and its effectiveness before start compiling the manuscript for submission. 

Manuscript submission and peer review processes managed within the online submission portal at www.ijiarec.com. Authors can view their submission status and review comments for constant revision.
