Finally, the acceptance or rejection of the article depends on the recommendation of the peer reviewer and the editor.

Responsibilities

First, editors must evaluate and disseminate scientific material whether it fits the field of the journal and find out: Whether the research question presented is important, original and well defined, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the research presented. In general, each editor must review at least two articles per month. The editor continuously improves the standards of the journal through careful peer review. They should communicate with other board members of that journal about the continuous flow of articles, the peer review process, reviewer response deadlines, and the quality of published material. They should have the ability to rewrite scripts that can sometimes be poorly written The author should receive instructions on manuscript preparation, submission, and revised version based on peer review comments.

The editor should guide the editor in a constructive way to obtain quality manuscripts from authors/assistants. The editor can easily make a decision based on the reviewer's detailed and constructive comments that help authors in their improved manuscripts. The editor/reviewer should comment on the article as it is a major revision/minor change/re-evaluation.

Editors / Reviewers and Publication Staff must keep all research information confidential.

Guideline for Reviewers

Reviewers play an important role in publishing. The peer review system is an important process in terms of research quality, scientific validation and publications Manuscript reviewers are essential to the publication process, and as a reviewer you gain valuable experience in scholarly publishing. We invite you to review our magazines.

Responsibilities

Reviewers must conceal their identity from the authors at any stage of publication. Reviewers must not be dishonest or biased when reviewing the manuscript. Reviewers must submit an acceptance letter if addressed to them and review the manuscript by the specified deadline to complete the review. The reviewer must notify the editors directly if the manuscript does not meet the journal's guidelines or if the manuscript is not of high quality content. Reviewers can contact the Editor/Editorial directly if there are problems with the manuscript during the review of the article. Articles are assigned based on the reviewer's research interests. They can contact the assigned editor if the script is beyond their abilities. Reviewers should remember that the final decision: acceptance or rejection depends on the editor's comments.

As reviewer you can improve your knowledge of professional standards; and you will quickly earn the respect of your peers. Another potential benefit of being a reviewer is that you are primarily considered a member of the editorial board.
