The Vikshaa follows a rigorous and transparent double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of all published work. This process maintains the highest academic and ethical standards while providing constructive feedback to authors.
Steps in the Peer Review Process:
- Submission: Authors submit their articles through the journal’s submission portal or email, adhering to the prescribed guidelines.
- Initial Screening: The editorial board conducts a preliminary review to ensure the submission aligns with the journal’s scope, objectives, and formatting requirements. Submissions that do not meet these criteria are returned to the authors with recommendations for improvement.
- Double-Blind Review: Eligible articles are sent to two or more independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. The reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other throughout the process to ensure impartiality.
- Review Feedback: Reviewers evaluate the articles based on originality, academic rigor, clarity, and contribution to the field. They provide detailed feedback and recommend one of the following:
- Acceptance with minor revisions
- Major revisions required
- Rejection
- Revision and Resubmission: If revisions are required, authors are given an opportunity to address the reviewers’ comments and resubmit their work for further evaluation.
- Final Decision: The editorial board makes the final decision based on reviewers’ recommendations and the revised article’s quality.
The journal is committed to ensuring a fair and efficient peer review process while maintaining an average review timeline to facilitate timely publication. This rigorous process enhances the quality of published research and strengthens its contribution to the academic community.
Note: Our journal does not charge submission or any other form of author fees.
