Peer-review Publication Process

The Peer-review process is an essential part of the publication process; it definitely improves the quality of the article to be published. Peer review ensures an independent assessment and accuracy of the results described. With the collaboration of editors and reviewers, Shanlax International Journals can ensure that the manuscripts we publish are among the most important in their respective disciplines. Shanlax Journals administer an effective review system. Our Peer review is designed to choose technically valid research of significant interest. Our Referees are expected to find the flaws and request to suggest advice to improve the quality of the article to be published. Our peer reviewer can only evaluate what the authors chose to include in the manuscript. By this publication approach, our peer review process will identify fraudulent data before publication. All contributions submitted to Shanlax journals that are selected for peer review are sent to at least one, but usually two independent reviewers, selected by the editors. The editor's decision on the choice of referees is final. Editors, authors and reviewers are required to keep confidential all details of the editorial and peer review process on submitted manuscripts. The peer review process is confidential and conducted anonymously; identities of reviewers are not released. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality of manuscripts.

Publication Ethics

Shanlax Journals editors may seek advice about submitted papers not only from technical reviewers but also on any aspect of a paper that raises concerns. These may include ethical issues or issues of data. Advice will usually be sought simultaneously with the technical peer-review committee. In all publishing decisions, the final decision whether to publish is the sole responsibility of the editor of the journal concerned.
