Peer-review Process

Every article submitted to the journal is subjected to strict plagiarism checks through our double-check process involving software and manual checking. Once the article passes through this step, articles are subjected to editorial review for scope, relevance, and other standard requirements.

Peer review is a major quality maintenance measure for any academic journal. In this process, experts in the relevant fields analyze the scholarly work from every perspective, including its writing, the accuracy of its technical content, its documentation, and its impact on and significance to the discipline.
