Peer review assesses manuscript quality before publication. It also ensures journals publish high-quality publications, benefiting the scientific community. Researchers in relevant fields peer-review the submitted publications. This review technique helps journal editors decide whether to publish papers by assessing their originality, validity, and importance.

Shodhpatra follows COPE’s Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines (http://publicationethics.org). We strive for objective, prompt, and equal peer review. Journals accept or reject manuscripts based on their significance, originality, lucidity, validity, and relevance to their scope.

In addition to the editorial board, personal relationships, author recommendations, and bibliographic databases, we use many sources to find reviewers. Reviewers strongly affect our manuscript acceptance decision.

Every manuscript submitted to SHODHPATRA will undergo a rigorous process as follows:

Step 1: [Author ==> Editor]

Author Submit the research article by Online form or email to ShodhPatra.org@gmail.com.

Step 2: [Editor/Review Members]

The journal’s editor assesses the submitted article or manuscript to determine if it meets the submission criteria. If it does, the editorial team will select potential peer reviewers within the field of research and send the manuscript to the peer-review process. The journal will reject and return the submitted article or manuscript to the author if it does not meet the submission criteria or falls outside the scope of the journal.

Step 3: [Reviewer ==> Editor]

The review team will assess the manuscript or article and give their recommendations or comments to the editor along with their decision to submit the manuscript for possible publication, which may be as follows:

1. A manuscript may be accepted.
2. Minor revisions may lead to the acceptance of a manuscript.
3. Major revisions may result in the acceptance of a manuscript.
4. The manuscript may be rejected.

Step 4: [Editor]

The editor sends the evaluation report to the author through email.

Step 5: [the corresponding author]

1. Accepted
