At IOSI Publications, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic quality and integrity in the research we publish. Central to this commitment is our rigorous peer review process, which ensures that all submitted manuscripts are evaluated by experts in the field before publication. Our Peer Review Policy is designed to uphold the following principles:
1. Unbiased Evaluation: We employ a double-blind peer review process, where the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept confidential. This ensures an unbiased and impartial assessment of each manuscript, free from potential conflicts of interest.

Our peer reviewers are selected based on their expertise, knowledge, and experience, ensuring that each manuscript is assessed by qualified professionals who can provide valuable insights and feedback.

Reviewers are asked to provide constructive feedback and recommendations, supported by relevant evidence from the manuscript.
4. Quality Assurance: We maintain a high standard of quality for publications. Reviewers assess the scientific validity, originality, significance, methodology, and ethical considerations of each submission. Authors are given the opportunity to address reviewer comments and revise their manuscripts accordingly.
5. Timeliness: We are committed to efficient and timely peer review. Our goal is to provide authors with prompt feedback, allowing them to proceed with the publication process in a timely manner. We value the contributions of our reviewers and appreciate their dedication to expediting the publication of quality research.

Editors make final decisions based on the reviewers’ recommendations, taking into account the manuscript’s quality and suitability for publication.
7. Continuous Improvement: We continuously seek to improve our peer review process and adapt to evolving best practices in scholarly publishing. Feedback from authors, reviewers, and readers is instrumental in refining our procedures.
