Review Process for the International Journal of Science and Innovation

​

1. Manuscript Submission

• Authors submit their manuscript via the IJSI online submission portal.

• The system requires:

  • A properly formatted manuscript (aligned with IJSI guidelines).

  • Supporting documents, such as:

    • Cover letter.

• Editor-in-Chief (EIC) or the Editorial Board screens the manuscript for:

  • Relevance to the scope of IJSI.

  • Adherence to submission guidelines.

  • Overall quality and originality of the research.

  • Compliance with ethical standards (e.g., plagiarism check using anti-plagiarism software).

• Outcome:

  • Manuscripts that fail at this stage are desk-rejected.

  • Those that meet basic requirements proceed to the peer review stage.

​

3. Peer Review Assignment

• Manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the field.

• The review process at IJSI is typically double-blind (both authors and reviewers remain anonymous).

​

4. Peer Review Process

Reviewers assess the manuscript based on:

• Scientific Rigor:

  • Originality and significance of the research.

  • Soundness of the methodology.

  • Appropriateness of the statistical and data analysis.

• Presentation:

  • Organization, clarity, and coherence of the manuscript.

  • Quality of figures, tables, and references.

• Ethical Considerations:

  • Ethical treatment of participants/subjects.

5. Decision by Editor

• The Editor reviews all peer reviewers’ comments and recommendations.

• Decisions:

  • Accept: Manuscript meets all scientific and editorial criteria.

  • Revise and Resubmit: Authors need to address reviewers' concerns (minor or major revisions).

  • Reject: Manuscript does not meet IJSI standards or lacks scientific rigor.

​

6. Author Revisions

• Authors are given a specific deadline (e.g., 2–4 weeks) to revise their manuscript.

• A response letter detailing how each reviewer comment was addressed must accompany the revised manuscript.

• If the revisions are substantial, the revised manuscript may be sent for a second round of peer review.

​

7. Final Decision

  • Copyediting: Ensures grammatical accuracy, clarity, and adherence to IJSI formatting.

  • Proofreading: Authors receive proofs to approve before publication.

  • Corrections are implemented based on author feedback.

​

9. Publication

• Manuscripts are published in the next available issue or as Online First on the IJSI website.

• Final articles are assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for indexing.

Post-Publication Engagement

• IJSI encourages discussions on published articles through letters to the editor and post-publication reviews.

• Articles are indexed in prominent scientific databases to enhance visibility and impact.

​​

10. Article Processing Charges

• A fee of $265 will be charged once the paper is accepted. This charge covers the costs associated with the processing, review, editing, and publication of the paper. The fee ensures that the paper meets the highest standards of quality and is made available as open access for the benefit of the research community. Authors are encouraged to ensure timely payment to avoid delays in the publication process.
