Peer review is defined as receiving advice on individual manuscripts from an expert reviewer in the field who is not part of the journal's editorial board. Peer review exists to ensure that journals publish quality science that benefits the entire scientific community. The journal aims to provide the best possible service to authors of original research articles and the fairest peer review system with subject matter experts and a dedicated editorial board of internationally recognized scientists.
Reviewers may point out gaps in your paper that require more detail or further experimentation. If your work is difficult to understand, the reviewers will give you suggestions to help you fix it. Reviewers also consider the importance of your paper to others in your field and may suggest ways to improve it or better highlight it to readers.
In addition to providing advice to authors, another important purpose of peer review is to ensure that the manuscripts published in the journal are ultimately of high quality.
Types of peer review
There are different forms of peer review used by the journal, although the basis is always the same, field experts providing comments on a paper to help improve it. The most common types are..
Single blind – where the reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities but the authors do not know who reviewed their manuscript.
Double blind – in this case neither authors nor reviewers know each other’s identities.
Open – where there reviewers are aware of the authors’ identity and the reviewers’ identity is revealed to the authors. In some cases journals also publish the reviewers’ reports alongside the final published manuscript.
SvedbergOpen usually practices double blind peer review process.
Key peer-review process includes the following:
We typically practice a double-blind peer review process. The review process has two phases. The first stage is internal review. In the first phase, our screening team will perform an initial technical check, plagiarism and suitability of the paper. If we detect any plagiarism, we will return the paper to the author and ask them to edit it.
The second stage of review is external decision-making. Based on this, the paper will be sent to an external referee for double-blind adjudication. The referee has three options; can provide feedback as accepted/rejected/need to revise. If a referee accepts the submission, it will automatically be published. If a referee suggests any changes or revisions to a paper, the author must edit the paper and resubmit it to us. If the referee rejects the submission, we will get back to the author with comments.
