Peer review follows a number of stages, beginning with submitting your article to a journal. At this first stage, the journal chief editor and section editor will decide if it’s suitable for the journal, asking questions such as:

Section Editor will decide:

·       Has the author followed the journal’s guidelines?

·       Is this the right journal for this article?

Section Editor will decide:

·       Will the journal’s readers find it interesting and useful?

The editor might reject the article immediately, but otherwise, it will move to the next stage, and into peer review.

The section editor will find and contact two other researchers or academics who are experts in your field. They will be asked to read your article and advise the section editor whether to publish your paper in that journal.

So what are they looking for? This depends on the subject area, but they will be checking (Instruction for Reviewers):

·       The manuscript is original or new;

·       The manuscript design and methodology are appropriate and described so that others could replicate what you’ve done;

·       Author(s) has presented your results clearly and appropriately;

·       The manuscript conclusions are reliable and significant;

·       The manuscript is of a high enough standard to be published in the journal.

Author(s)’ll then be given feedback about your article, telling the author(s) if any changes need to be made before it can be published. Our authors tell us that the reviewers’ comments can be extremely helpful, ensuring that the article is of high quality. Please note the final editorial decision on a paper and the choice of who to invite to review is always at the editor’s discretion.

Author(s) can then amend his/her article based on the reviewers’ comments, resubmitting it with any or all changes made.

And that’s it, you’ve made it through peer review. Next stop is production.

Peer review integrity

Every research article published in an IJSETS has been through peer review as outlined in the journal’s aims and scope information; its quality, validity, and relevance assessed by independent peers within the relevant field. We believe in the integrity of peer review, with every journal we publish ascribing to the following statement:

All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening, anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees, and consequent revision by article authors when required. The published article constitutes the final, definitive, and citable Version of Scholarly Record.
