Review Policy<\/span><\/span><\/span>
Editorial Review and Peer Review<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
All submissions to Shodh Sari Journal are first reviewed for completeness and only then sent to be assessed by an Editor who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. Where an Editor is on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to oversee peer review. Editors will consider the peer-reviewed reports when making a decision, but are not bound by the opinions or recommendations therein. Authors receive peer review reports with the editorial decision on their manuscript.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


Editor(s) to obtain a minimum of two peer reviewers for manuscripts especially to discipline specific. Peer review reports should be in English and provide constructive critical evaluations of the authors\u2019 work, particularly in relation to the appropriateness of methods used, whether the results are accurate, and whether the conclusions are supported by the results. Editorial decisions should be based on peer reviewer comments that meet these criteria rather than on recommendations made by short, superficial peer reviewer reports which do not provide a rationale for the recommendations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


Peer reviewers are expected to provide an assessment on the following aspects of manuscripts, key results, validity, originality, significance, data and methodology, statistics, conclusion, clarity, contexts, references, and suggested improvements.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


Communications between Editors and peer reviewers contain confidential information that should not be shared with third parties.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


Responsibilities of Reviewers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
This journal offers masked peer review (where both the authors\u2019 and reviewers\u2019 identities are not known to the other). All articles are double reviewed, by editorial board and peer group as per specialization. Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication, and lies at the heart of the scientific method. In addition to the specific ethics-related duties described below, reviewers are asked generally to treat authors and their work as they would like to be treated themselves and to observe good reviewing etiquette.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
