Papers shall go through a double peer review process to adjudge their suitability and authenticity, for publication in the book. A confirmation about the acceptance of the article will be sent to e-mail address of the corresponding author. The researchers are supposed to check their e-mail account frequently, because they will be notified of important information about their paper through e-mail only.

The reviewers shall review the article as per:

1. instructions to author
2. special emphasis on spelling
3. format of references in text and reference section
4. methodology
5. Citation of journals
6. Summary and findings.

Editorial Quality:

The peer review process is rigorous in order to ensure the quality of the content published in the journal. We except the authors to revise their texts following the suggestions of the referees. If the authors do not perform such reviews and do not submit comments back, the research paper will be rejected.

Some research papers may be of excellent quality but might be poorly written in English. This may be the case for authors whose native language is not English. When we receive a negative review on communicative quality (from 0 to 10), we may ask the author to resubmit a new version of the article. We cannot help the authors to re-write the content.
