If the manuscript is found appropriate for the further process following the editorial review, the blind manuscript is sent to two anonymous peer reviewers and one statistical reviewer. It is ensured that the reviewers are having qualifications of post-graduation or higher in the concerned subjects and not from the same institute where the authors belong. Upon completion of peer review, the changes suggested by the reviewers are forwarded to the authors, and modifications are sought with explanations (if required). The revised manuscript is again forwarded to the concerned reviewers. If the reviewers are satisfied with the revisions from the authors, the manuscript is accepted, and formative changes are done for the publication. At any stage of review, if editorial board members or reviewers find the manuscript unsuitable for publication, the manuscript is rejected.
