JIE follows a double blind peer reviewing policy. All submissions are reviewed internally and externally.
Initial Screening: Initial screening for the suitability of the article for publication in JIE is carried out by the associate editors and subsequently the manuscript is sent for blind reviewing. Each article is reviewed by one local professional and one international professional. Authors are informed about the comments or suggestions of the reviewers and are required to revise their paper in the specific time.
Regretting after initial review: A large number of submissions are rejected without being sent out for external peer review on the grounds of priority, insufficient originality, scientific flaws, lack of interest to the readers or the absence of scope of the journal. Usually an immediate decision is taken on such papers. Intial internal review process usually takes maximum 2-3 months.
Sending paper to reviewers: The remaining articles are assigned to an associate editor, who will send it to one local and one external reviewers selected from a list of experts/reviewers. The paper may also be sent to a specialist statistical reviewer if the paper demands such expertise. Once the reviews have been received the editor/associate editor/assistant editor makes a decision to accept or reject a manuscript, or to request revisions from the author in response to the reviewers’ comments. The peer review process usually takes 2-3 months.
Research articles authored by a member of a journal’s editorial team are independently submitted and peer reviewed by any member other than the author. The editor/associate editor/assistant editor/member editorial board/reviewer will have no input or influence on the peer review process or publication decision for their own article. The review process generally takes 04 to 08 months.
Selection of reviewers is of greater significance for publishing a high quality papers. JIE selects reviewers keeping their expertise, reputation, experience and qualification in mind. The editorial board discourages using those reviewers who do not give potential feedback and specific comments or are slow, non serious or biased in any sense. JIE gets reviewers’ consent before sending them papers to them for review.
Research articles authored by a member of a journal’s editorial team are independently peer reviewed; an editor must have no input or influence on the peer review process or publication decision for their own article.
