❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Peer Review

What is double-blind peer review and why does IJORET use it?

Double-blind peer review means both author and reviewer identities are concealed from each other. This eliminates bias and ensures manuscripts are evaluated solely on their scientific merit. IJORET uses this system to maintain fairness and objectivity, giving all researchers equal opportunity regardless of their institutional affiliation or career stage. Learn more about our quality standards.

How long does the peer review process take at IJORET?

IJORET typically completes the peer review process within 10-15 days from submission to first decision. This includes initial editorial screening (2-3 days) and reviewer evaluation (7-12 days). We prioritize efficiency without compromising quality. If revisions are requested, authors typically have 15-20 days to resubmit, followed by a shorter re-review period of 5-7 days.

What happens if my paper receives conflicting reviewer feedback?

When reviewers provide contradictory recommendations, our editorial team carefully analyzes all comments to make an informed decision. We may seek additional expert opinions or provide guidance on addressing conflicting suggestions. The editor’s decision considers the manuscript’s overall quality, significance, and alignment with journal scope. Authors receive clear direction on required revisions. Check our author guidelines for revision protocols.

Can I suggest or exclude specific reviewers for my submission?

Yes, during submission you can suggest potential reviewers or request exclusion of specific individuals (with valid reasons such as conflicts of interest). While we consider these suggestions, final reviewer selection remains at the editorial team’s discretion to ensure impartiality and expertise match. We appreciate suggestions of qualified reviewers with relevant publications in your research area.
