Peer Review Process

The study or author is anonymous.

  •  The author's anonymity prevents the study's bias, e.g., based on the author's home country or previous controversial work.
  • Articles written by prestigious or reputed authors are considered based on the contents of their papers, not of their reputations.
  • Reviewers can often identify writers through their writing style, subject matter, or self-citation.

For journals that use single blind peer review, the identity of the reviewers is concealed from the authors.  To facilitate this, arrangements are made so that reviewers do not reveal their identity to authors and vice versa, either directly or indirectly.

 Therefore make sure that the following items are in your post and are provided as separate files:

 1. Title page

The title page will remain separate from the script during the peer review process and will not be sent to the reviewers. This should include:

  • Manuscript title
  • All author and affiliated names
  • The full address of the author, including the e-mail address
  • Acknowledgments
  • Statement of conflicts of interest

2. anonymized Manuscripts

Please remove the identifiable information, such as the author or affiliate name of your script before submission.

In addition to deleting names and affiliates under the heading in the script, other steps need to be taken to ensure the script is properly prepared for the single-blind peer review. The key points to consider are:

  • Make sure the numbers and tables do not contain references to affiliate authors.
  • Excluding thanks and reference to the source of funding. Use the title page, which is not sent to the reviewer, to specify this and to state the potential conflicts of interest to the Editor.
