Peer Review Process – International Journal of Dental Sciences & Research

  • A review report provides the editor-in-chief with an expert opinion on the quality of the manuscript under consideration. It also supplies authors with explicit feedback on how to improve their papers to make them acceptable for publication in the journal. Remarks that may help improve the quality of the manuscript are forwarded to the authors for their consideration

  • Peer review of the manuscripts is an important process for maintaining the standard of the journal therefore the management of the journal welcomes the academic colleagues joining us as referees and appreciates the work they had done and would be doing. The journal would strive hard to maintain a system of refereeing to evaluate the manuscripts.

  • The received manuscripts will be sent to referees for review. Satisfactory and positive comments of the referees are required for the publication of the manuscripts. In case of a positive and a negative report, the paper will be sent to another referee and if the referee gives a positive report, the paper will be published.

  • If the review process is getting delayed, the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board has the right to send the manuscript to other experts from the resources of the journal or any other expert even from outside as they may deem so in the best interest of the journal.

  • The editors and Editor-in-Chief will not interfere in the process of peer review of the papers thus providing complete independence to the peer review members.

  • The authors shall be informed through email the status of their paper. After the review process, the authors shall be informed whether the paper has been accepted, rejected or sent for revision.

  • The accepted papers would be queued up for publication in the forthcoming issue(s).

The journal follows a double-blind peer review process where the identities of both the reviewer and author are kept undisclosed to each other, ensuring anonymity and maintaining confidentiality throughout the entire review procedure. The anonymity of reviewers ensures an objective and unbiased assessment of the manuscript by the reviewers.
