The critical evaluation of articles submitted to journals by specialists who are typically not on the editorial staff is known as the peer-review process. The reviewer evaluates the paper based on its quality, validity, originality, and adherence to proper procedures.
We follow the ICMJE's (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) peer-review guidelines (for medical journals) and the Committee on Publication Ethics' (COPE) Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers policy (for all journals) in Advanced Research Publications.
Two or more reviewers are assigned to articles that satisfy the minimum requirements. Peer-review is double-blind, meaning that neither the reviewers' nor the authors' identities are disclosed to each other.
The initial step for a newly submitted manuscript is the plagiarism check. The next step is for the editors to screen the manuscript; if they determine that it is not original, of insufficient quality, or outside the journal's purpose and scope, they may reject it.
The minimum number of requirements for an article is met and it is assigned to two or more reviewers. A reviewer has fifteen days to offer his comments on a manuscript. The author receives reviewers' comments on the paper after it has been evaluated. The author sends the revised file to the reviewer once more. Satisfaction of the reviewers and editor is a must before acceptance of the paper for publication.
