Author Guidelines
2024-11-12
- The author of the article must submit it to the journal editor who forwards the article to experts in the field after it has been processed through the relevant journal submission system. Because the reviewers specialize in the same scholarly area as the author, they are considered the author’s peers (hence “peer‐review”).
- These impartial reviewers are charged with carefully evaluating the quality of the submitted manuscript, often using their own evaluation criteria to assist the review process.
- The peer reviewers check a number of issues in the manuscript including assessing the validity of the research methodology and procedures. They would also be vigilant for any unethical practice in the research or plagiarism.
- If appropriate, they may recommend revisions and re‐submission of an article. In other cases, they may recommend rejection for various reasons. The editor of a journal is reliant on its reviewers to offer guidance on whether to accept or reject an article.
- Documents to be submitted:
i. Manuscript
ii. Similarity index report
iii. Proofreading
