PEER REVIEW

The peer review process at the Indian Journal of Research and Development Systems in Technologization (IJRDST) is a vital mechanism that ensures the quality and integrity of the research we publish. Upon receiving a manuscript submission, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment for adherence to journal guidelines and suitability for peer review. Subsequently, qualified and impartial reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the relevant field.

The process begins with a confidential review, where reviewers thoroughly evaluate the manuscript's methodology, significance, originality, and presentation. The objective is to provide constructive and unbiased feedback to the authors. Reviewers are instructed to maintain confidentiality throughout the evaluation process, fostering an environment of trust and integrity.

IJRDST places a strong emphasis on timely review, with reviewers encouraged to submit their assessments promptly. This commitment to efficiency aims to minimize the duration authors spend in the publication pipeline.

Constructive feedback is a cornerstone of the peer review process, and reviewers are encouraged to offer detailed insights that can help authors improve the clarity, methodology, and overall quality of their manuscripts. Authors receive comprehensive feedback, facilitating a collaborative approach to refining their research.

The peer review process may involve multiple rounds of review and revision, creating an iterative cycle. Authors are provided with specific recommendations and are expected to address reviewer comments thoroughly. Revised manuscripts undergo further evaluation to ensure that the necessary enhancements have been made.

Conflicts of interest are carefully managed throughout the process, with reviewers expected to disclose any potential conflicts that might compromise the objectivity of their evaluation. In such cases, alternative reviewers may be assigned to ensure fairness and impartial decision-making.

Overall, the peer review process at IJRDST is designed to be transparent, rigorous, and collaborative.
