Peer Review Policy

Why Peer Review Matters

Peer review is a quality-control mechanism that improves the clarity, accuracy, and scientific strength of a manuscript. Reviewers may identify missing references, methodological gaps, ethical issues, or presentation improvements that help authors present stronger and more impactful research.

Improves Scientific Quality

Feedback strengthens methods, analysis, conclusions, and overall credibility.

Ensures Fair Evaluation

Double-blind review reduces bias related to institution, country, or author identity.

Supports Open Access Trust

Open access becomes more valuable when quality and ethics are maintained strongly.

What is Double-Blind Peer Review?

In JBRES, double-blind peer review means reviewers do not know the authors’ identities, and authors do not know the reviewers’ identities. This reduces personal influence and encourages objective evaluation based on scientific merit.

Tip for Authors
To support double-blind review, please remove author names/affiliations from the main manuscript file if required, and provide the title page separately (as per author guidelines).

Our Peer Review Workflow

1
Editorial Screening
The editorial team checks scope fit, manuscript structure, ethics statements, and basic quality. The Editor-in-Chief (or handling editor) confirms suitability for review.
2
Reviewer Assignment
Manuscripts are assigned to qualified reviewers in the relevant subject area. Reviewers are expected to declare any conflicts of interest before accepting the review request.
3
Review & Recommendations
Reviewers evaluate originality, methods, data interpretation, ethics, and presentation. They provide constructive comments and recommendation to the editorial team.
4
Editorial Decision
Editors assess reviewer reports and make a decision. Authors receive a decision letter along with reviewer comments (where applicable).
5
Revision & Final Checks
If revisions are requested, authors submit a revised manuscript with a point-by-point response. The revised version may be re-reviewed when needed.
6
Production & Publication (Open Access)
Accepted articles proceed to copyediting, layout, proofing, DOI assignment, and online publication with permanent open access availability.

Possible Editorial Decisions

✅ Accept
The manuscript is accepted for publication (may include minor editorial polishing).
🛠️ Minor Revision
Small improvements requested (formatting, clarity, limited additions).
🧱 Major Revision
Substantial updates needed (method details, analysis clarity, stronger discussion).
❌ Reject
Out of scope or not meeting scientific/ethical standards required for publication.
