2. In academic journals, manuscripts are typically
peer-reviewed through a rigorous evaluation
process involving external experts in the field.
The peer review process helps ensure the quality,
validity, and significance of the research before it
is accepted for publication.
Here is a general overview of how manuscripts are
usually peer-reviewed:
Introduction
contd...

4. After a researcher submits their manuscript to a
journal, it undergoes an initial screening by the
journal's editorial team.
They assess whether the manuscript meets the journal
submission scope and guidelines.
It proceeds to the peer review in the science stage if it
passes the initial screening.
SUBMISSION:
contd...

5. The journal's editor(s) identifies potential reviewers with expertise
in the subject area relevant to the manuscript.
Reviewers are typically researchers, scholars, or experts who
have published in the field themselves
REVIEWER SELECTION:
Reviewers are invited to assess the manuscript by the editor(s).
They can accept or decline the invitation based on their
availability and expertise.
REVIEWER INVITATION:

6. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript for its scientific
rigour, methodology, originality, clarity of writing,
and contribution to the field.
They provide feedback on strengths, weaknesses,
and areas for improvement.
This assessment may be done through a single-
blind review (where the reviewers know the author's
identity but not vice versa) or a double-blind peer
review (where the identities of both authors and
reviewers are concealed).
PEER REVIEW PROCESS:
contd...

7. Reviewers typically provide detailed comments, suggestions, and critiques to the editor(s) regarding
the manuscript's strengths and weaknesses.
They may recommend acceptance, revision, or rejection based on their assessment.
REVIEWER COMMENTS:
If requested, the editor(s) communicate the reviewer's comments and suggestions to the author.
The author then revises the manuscript accordingly, addressing the reviewer's concerns and making
improvements.
AUTHOR REVISIONS:
contd...

8. The editor(s) consider the reviewer's comments, the revised manuscript, and their assessment to
decide the manuscript.
The decision can be acceptance, acceptance with minor revisions, acceptance with major revisions,
or rejection.
Multiple revisions and reviews may sometimes be required before reaching a final decision.
EDITOR'S DECISION:
Once a manuscript is accepted, it moves forward in the publication process, which includes
copyediting, typesetting, and formatting.
Finally, the manuscript is published in the journal, making it accessible to the academic community.
PUBLICATION:

9. It's important to note that the peer review process can vary slightly between journal format and disciplines.
Some journals may also incorporate additional steps, such as a second round of review or an editorial
board meeting to discuss the manuscript's fate.
The overall goal of peer review manuscripts is to ensure the quality and integrity of published qualitative
research journals by subjecting them to rigorous evaluation by experts in the field.

10. In academic journals of scientific research, manuscripts are typically PubMed peer-reviewed through
anonymous evaluation by independent experts in the same or related field as the author(s) of the manuscript.
The peer-review process helps to ensure the quality and validity of research published in academic journals.
