The article will undergo a thorough peer-review process.

The editor will review your article to see if it is within the scope of INJHSR and if it is worth going through the peer-review process.

If your article is deemed suitable for the peer review process, it will be allocated to an editor.

The editor will obtain reviews from two experts in the field of the theme of your manuscript.

The editor will make recommendations based on the reviewer’s comments about the decision about the article. There could be three decisions:

Accepted with minor corrections.
Rejected.

If the article has been accepted with major corrections or minor corrections, the editor-in-chief will request you to submit the proposed corrections. If the corrections are not made as per the recommendations of the reviewers, the manuscript will be returned to you until the quality of the paper is improved up to the desired standard.
