Peer Reviewed Policies

Multidisciplinary Research Journal follows a transparent double-blind peer review process to ensure fairness, objectivity, and high academic standards. This policy guarantees that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process.

Peer Review Process

• All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment for relevance, originality, and compliance with journal guidelines.
• If the manuscript passes the initial screening, it is sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the subject area.
• Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:
  • Originality and significance of research
  • Methodological rigor and accuracy
  • Clarity of presentation and argumentation
  • Adherence to ethical guidelines
• Reviewers provide detailed feedback and recommendations, which may include:
  • Accept without revisions
  • Minor revisions required
  • Major revisions required
  • Reject
• Authors must address reviewer comments and submit a revised version within the given timeframe. The revised manuscript may undergo further review if necessary.

Editorial Decision

• The Editor-in-Chief makes the final publication decision based on reviewer reports and editorial board recommendations.
• If significant concerns arise, additional reviewers may be invited for validation.
• The editorial team ensures that all reviews are conducted in a professional, fair, and unbiased manner.

Confidentiality and Ethical Considerations

• All submitted manuscripts and peer review reports are treated as confidential.
• Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest and decline review assignments where applicable.
• Plagiarism, data fabrication, or ethical violations reported by reviewers are investigated, and appropriate actions are taken.

Appeals and Disputes

• Authors may appeal editorial decisions by providing a reasoned response to the Editor-in-Chief.
• Appeals are reviewed by the editorial board, and final decisions are communicated transparently.
