Before a paper is published, its quality is evaluated through a process called peer review. To assist editors in deciding whether to publish a manuscript in their journal, independent researchers in the relevant field evaluate submitted manuscripts for originality, validity, and significance. More information about the peer-review procedure can be found here .
The services of a publishing partner, Research Square, may be employed to recruit qualified reviewers and deliver reports in circumstances where the journal is unable to find enough peer reviewers. This will help authors avoid further delays. Reviewers hired by Research Square are given a nominal stipend in exchange for doing the evaluation within the allotted time. Regardless of the reviewer's recommendation, honoraria are paid. A double-blind peer review procedure is in place with Research Square.
Unless the reviewer chooses to sign the report, peer review reports that Research Square has collected will not be signed.
When an article is accepted for publication by The Intellectual Society of Knowledge and Innovation (ISKI), the reviewer reports are posted online alongside the paper under a Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 , but the reviewer is not identified.
Transparent peer review has the advantage of increasing transparency. Published reports can also aid in peer review training and research, which serves an educational purpose.
The Quarterly Applied Sciences (QAS) editors and/or peer reviewers grade the manuscripts that are submitted. The Editor is in charge of the journal's overall editorial direction. Associate Editors serve as managing editors while Section Editors oversee all articles submitted to their section.
The Quarterly Applied Sciences (QAS) is a publication in The Intellectual Society of Knowledge and Innovation (ISKI) series, which produces specialized journals tailored to the requirements of specific research communities in all branches of the scientific and social sciences. We don't base our editorial choices on a study's relevance or potential significance. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research publications, this entails having a good research topic, using appropriate techniques and tools for analysis, and adhering to accepted standards.
Introduction to the Peer Review Process
Describe peer review.
Before a paper is published, its quality is evaluated through a process called peer review. To assist editors in deciding whether to publish a manuscript in their journal, independent researchers in the relevant field evaluate submitted manuscripts for originality, validity, and significance.
How does it function?
A manuscript is evaluated to determine whether it satisfies the submission requirements before being submitted to a journal. If so, the editorial team will choose possible reviewers from the relevant field to assess the work and offer suggestions.
The Nature-Nurture Journal of Business and Economics uses four primary forms of peer review (NNJBE).
Single-blind: reviewers are aware of the authors' identities, but unless they want to sign their report, writers are unaware of who read their article.
Double-blind: reviewers do not know the authors' names, and neither do the authors of the manuscripts being reviewed.
Open peer review: means that both the authors and the reviewers are aware of one another. The named reviewer reports are published with the paper if the manuscript is accepted.
Transparent peer review: means that, unless the reviewer decides to sign their report, neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of who has read their article. If the paper is accepted, the piece is published along with the anonymous reviewer reports.
Different peer review processes are used by various journals. On the journal's "About" page, you can learn which peer-review methodology is employed.
Why is peer review done?
Peer review, which verifies the accuracy of the paper, is an essential component of scientific publishing. Peer reviewers are professionals that donate their time to assist submissions go well. Peer review should help papers become:
Extra reliable – Peer reviewers may highlight holes in a manuscript that call for more research or experiments.
A paper that is easier to read will allow reviewers to recommend revisions if some sections are challenging to understand.
Peer reviews are more helpful because they take other experts in your industry into account.
