Review Process
Open peer review refers to the process of making peer reviewer reports openly available, where the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are disclosed to each other during the review process. Open peer review promotes transparency and accountability in the scholarly communication process. This transparency can help reduce biases and potential conflicts of interest, as well as foster greater trust in the peer review process.
All submissions are made to the Director of JMSRP and Forwarded to journal-specific chief editors. The paper is first subjected to anti-plagiarism check. If the paper is found to be plagiarized, it is rejected and immediate communication made to the author to revise or resubmit or make other decisions. If it is plagiarism free, the editor deletes the authors details, codes it and sends the coded manuscript to three reviewers of the Particular Subject. Once the reviewers are through, they send back the manuscript to the editor with comments and the author is given a chance to make corrections as per the reviewers’ directions. After revision, the authors return the revised manuscript to the editor who forwards them again to the first reviewers and the process begins again.
The process is repeated until the reviewers and the editor are convinced that the manuscript is ready for publication.
As in the fast track process we hired special reviewers. Once the article submission is done we will check its plagiarism and if plagiarism found less than 15% forwarded to the Reviewer for urgent review and then send to editor for final verification.
Note: Papers can be rejected at any stage should the author fail to make corrections as guided.
