Peer Review Process – EIRA Publisher
At EIRA Publisher – Excellence in International Research & Academia Publisher, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of scholarly publishing. To achieve this, all manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, which ensures fairness, academic integrity, and constructive feedback for authors. Our system is designed not only to evaluate the quality of submissions but also to help authors improve their work through detailed review and recommendations.
1. Submission and Initial Screening
- Once a manuscript is submitted, the editorial office conducts a preliminary assessment.
- This includes checking for compliance with author guidelines, formatting requirements, plagiarism policies, and ethical standards.
- Manuscripts that do not meet the basic criteria may be returned for revision before review or rejected outright.
2. Double-Blind Peer Review
- Manuscripts deemed suitable are sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.
- The process follows a double-blind model, where:
- Authors do not know the reviewers’ identities.
- Reviewers do not know the authors’ identities.
- This ensures objectivity and eliminates bias based on affiliation, nationality, or reputation.
- Reviewers evaluate manuscripts on:
- Originality and significance of the research.
- Soundness of methodology and data analysis.
- Clarity and organization of the presentation.
- Contribution to existing knowledge and relevance to the field.
- Compliance with ethical research practices.
3. Reviewer Recommendations
After careful evaluation, reviewers may recommend one of the following:
- Accept without revisions – The manuscript is ready for publication.
- Minor revisions – The article requires small improvements but is acceptable.
- Major revisions – The article needs substantial modifications before reconsideration.
- Reject – The manuscript does not meet the journal’s academic standards.
4. Revision and Resubmission
- If revisions are requested, authors must address all reviewer comments and provide a detailed response letter explaining the changes made.
- Revised manuscripts are usually sent back to the same reviewers for re-evaluation, ensuring that all concerns are properly resolved.
5. Editorial Decision
- The editorial board makes the final decision after considering reviewer feedback.
- Possible outcomes include acceptance, further revision requests, or rejection.
- Authors are informed of the decision along with constructive feedback to guide future improvements.
6. Proofreading and Production
- Accepted manuscripts undergo final proofreading and formatting to correct typographical, grammatical, or layout issues.
- After final approval from the corresponding author, the article is published online in the respective journal issue.
7. Ethical Considerations
- All reviewers and editors must maintain strict confidentiality regarding submitted manuscripts.
- Any conflicts of interest must be declared before accepting a review assignment.
- Instances of plagiarism, data fabrication, or unethical research practices are taken seriously and may result in rejection, retraction, or further investigation.
By following this transparent and systematic process, EIRA Publisher ensures that all published articles meet international standards of credibility, fairness, and scholarly excellence, contributing to the advancement of global research.
