The manuscripts submitted to BJPSR will be reviewed for possible
publication on the understanding that they have been submitted only to
‘BJPSR’ and have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or
accepted before for publication elsewhere.
Once a manuscript is submitted to BJPSR, it is forwarded to specific
chief editors. The paper is first subjected to antiplagiarism 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 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.
Once the article is corrected and approved by reviewer and editorial
team for publication, it is published in the journal.
The peer-review process is double blinded, i.e., the reviewers do not
know who the authors of the manuscript are and the authors do not have
access to the information of who the peer-reviewers are.
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: that papers can be rejected at any stage should the author fail to
make corrections as guided.
