Journal Ethics

Peer Review Process

Once a manuscript is received, it is screened thoroughly to evaluate that it falls within the scope of the journal, and prepared according to the format, usually followed by a plagiarism check. Manuscripts that fail to conform to the requirements of the journal, as specified under “Instructions to Authors”, will be rejected.Those manuscripts that meet the specified requirements of the journals are subsequently assigned to an Editor for further processing. The Editor assigns a minimum of 2 potential reviewers to access the suitability of the scientific content for publishing. The editor’s decision of acceptance, rejection, or request for revision of the manuscript is strictly based on the comments of at least one reviewer.

Human and Animal Rights Policy

The journal ascertains that the research studies conducted abide by ethical as well as human and animal rights policies. Evidence of approval of Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) in case of ethical clearance for clinical studies and Institutional animal ethics committee (IAEC) for animal studies is mandatory. In addition, the editor may choose to notify the host institution as well as the funding agency of the author regarding the breach in ethical policies of conduct of research.

In particular, the research studies involving human subjects or human data must have been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and must comply with ethics guidelines of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) or appropriate independent or institutional or national ethics committee.
