Peer Review

SHODHVIRA intends to follow a double-blind peer-review process to support the quality and integrity of published research.

Review process

  1. Editorial screening. Submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening for relevance, originality, and compliance with submission requirements.
  2. Independent review. Suitable manuscripts are evaluated by independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise. Author and reviewer identities are concealed from each other to the extent practicable. Reviewers assess originality, research methodology, academic contribution, clarity, and relevance.
  3. Editorial decision. Based on the reviews, the editor may accept a manuscript, request revisions, or reject it. The final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

The journal aims to maintain confidentiality, impartiality, and consistency throughout the review process.
