Peer Review Guidelines
Multidisciplinary International Journal remains focused to disseminate scientific
knowledge, and the credibility of the published paper totally depends on the
efficient mechanism of peer review. A significant part of the publishing process
is the examination of manuscripts. In order to ensure that the scientific content
of the manuscript is on line with our expectations, reviewers are invited to make
an assessment and provide recommendations. It is not intended for reviewers to
rewrite an article. MIJ reviewers are asked to provide the accompanying
manuscript with genuine, constructive review feedback and criticisms. Within
the clearly stated timeframe, a reviewer has to check the papers obtained from
the editorial office or the editor.
In order to help publish reliable, insightful and creative articles geared towards
the interests of undergraduate and graduate students, manuscript reviewers are
important. In order to eventually determine which manuscripts will be published
in the journal, MIJ relies on the experience and expertise of its reviewers. A
significant first step in the publishing process is reviewing manuscripts.
Guidelines
Reviewer is requested, after receiving the invitation, to inform about their
availability to complete the review in a given period.
Your view of accepting or denying the invitation can be intimated to us.
You may suggest some of your colleagues if you are unable to accept the
invitation, so that the respective editor may invite the person to review
and you may not pass your invitation.
Articles are assigned depending on the reviewer's specialization. If the
manuscript is beyond their knowledge, they should contact the assigned
editorial office.
After appointing the manuscript reviewer, if there is any issue with time
or conflict of interest, the reviewer will contact the editorial office on the
grounds that the reviewer can extend the deadline or cancel the review
assignment.
The reviewer should take a look at the manuscript assigned, whether or
not the paper works within the journal's specified framework. When
reviewing the manuscript, reviewers should not be biased or partial.
To encourage timely completion of the review process, they should
analyze the manuscript within the given timeline.
If you notice that the research paper does not fit into the scope of interest
during the review process, you should notify the editorial office.
Reviewers are not invited to communicate the paper with the relevant
author(s).
We advise reviewers not to use the manuscript data for their own use and
to protect it from some kind of breach.
Criticism should be dispassionately expressed and negative statements are
not acceptable.
Confidential comments to be made and for approval, rejection or
alteration, you may advise the editor. They must never be affected by
race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, language, origin, gender or any
political entity in their comments and reviews.
If you are willing to join our journal as a reviewer, please mail us your
