All submissions made to the editor (whether through the OJS system of email) are automatically forwarded to journal-specific chief editors. The manuscript is first subjected to plagiarism check. If the paper is found to be plagiarized, it is rejected and immediate communication made to the author to revise or resubmit or make other decisions. If it is plagiarism free, the editor deletes the authors’ details, codes it and sends the coded manuscript to two reviewers.

Publisher Information
Peer review
Once the reviewers are through, they send back the manuscript to the editor with comments and the author is given a chance to make corrections as per the reviewers’ directions. After revision, the authors return the revised manuscript to the editor who forwards them again to the first reviewers and the process begins again.
The process is repeated until the reviewers and the editor are convinced that the manuscript meets all the standards for publication. Note that papers can be rejected at any stage should the author fail to make corrections as guided. The chief editor ensures that all comments and suggestions given are fair and without bias.
The speed of the process depends on the reviewers’ speed and the author’s ability to respond quickly. From our end, we endeavour to make the review process as quickly as possible; where a reviewer should not take more than five days. Communication is done, before assigning manuscripts to reviewers, to ensure the reviewer is in a position to complete the process within five days.
Evidence of peer review
For the purposes of evidence of peer review, the author is provided with at least two reviews of their papers with comments after the process is completed. An employer or any other Quality control organisation can request for this evidence from us and we can avail.
