IRGS Publisher (International Research & Global Society) follows a structured and transparent double-blind peer review process to maintain the quality, credibility, and academic integrity of published research. The review system ensures that every manuscript is evaluated fairly by subject experts while providing valuable feedback to authors.

1. Manuscript Submission and Initial Assessment

After submission, the manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial office to ensure that it follows the journal’s formatting guidelines, scope, and ethical standards. The manuscript is also checked for plagiarism and overall suitability for the journal.

Manuscripts that do not comply with the required standards may be returned to the authors for correction or may be declined at this stage.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are forwarded to two or more independent reviewers who have expertise in the relevant research area.

The journal follows a double-blind review system, meaning:

•        The identities of the authors are hidden from the reviewers.
•       The identities of the reviewers remain confidential to the authors.

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, research methodology, academic contribution, clarity of presentation, and ethical compliance.

3. Reviewer Recommendations

After evaluation, reviewers may provide one of the following recommendations:

Accept – The manuscript is suitable for publication without further changes.

Minor Revision – The manuscript requires small corrections before acceptance.

Major Revision – Significant improvements or modifications are required before the manuscript can be reconsidered.

Reject – The manuscript does not meet the journal’s publication standards.

4. Revision and Resubmission

If revisions are requested, authors must carefully address all reviewer comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript within the specified time. The revised manuscript may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation to ensure that the suggested corrections have been properly implemented.

5. Final Editorial Decision

The final publication decision is made by the editorial board based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations. If the manuscript is accepted, it proceeds to the production stage. If rejected, the authors will receive feedback explaining the decision.

6. Proofreading and Final Publication

Accepted manuscripts undergo final proofreading and formatting to eliminate typographical or layout errors. After completion of this process, the article is published online in the respective journal issue.

7. Ethical Responsibilities

All participants in the peer review process must follow strict ethical standards. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality and declare any potential conflicts of interest.

Any suspected ethical issues such as plagiarism, falsified data, or unethical research practices will be carefully investigated by the editorial board.
