Peer Review Process

Each article is peer-reviewed. Initially, the articles are reviewed by the chief editor and their other editors. The Intent Research Scientific Journal- (IRSJ) has an editorial board, and its members cover various disciplines within the scope of the journal. All the board members have an established track record in academic publication.

Once articles are accepted for peer review, they are then sent to selected peer reviewers. Each article is peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers, and each reviewer will submit their review, including comments and a recommendation on when to accept for publication, reject, or request revisions to the articles.

The process for Peer Review is as follows:

  1. Submission of Paper

The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the journal. In virtually all cases, this should be done via our online platform.

  1. Editorial Office Assessment

The editorial team checks the paper’s composition and arrangement against the journal’s Author Guidelines to ensure it includes the required sections and stylizations. The quality of the paper is not assessed at this point.

  1. Appraisal by the Editor

The lead Editor checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. If not, the paper may be rejected without being reviewed any further.

  1. Invitation to Reviewers

The editors send invitations to individuals they believe would be appropriate reviewers. As responses are received, further invitations are issued, if necessary, until the minimum number of two reviewers per article is confirmed.

  1. Response to Invitations

Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest, and availability. They then accept or decline. If possible, when declining, they might also suggest alternative reviewers.

  1. Review is Conducted

The reviewer sets time aside to read the paper several times. The first read is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are found at this stage, the reviewer may feel comfortable rejecting the paper without further work. Otherwise, they will read the paper several times, taking notes to build a detailed point-by-point review. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it, or with a revision request (usually flagged as either major or minor) before reconsidering.

  1. Journal Evaluates the Reviews

The editor considers all the returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, the editor may invite an additional reviewer to get an extra opinion before making a decision.

  1. The Decision is Communicated

The author receives a decision email including any relevant reviewer comments. As the journal operates a blind review process the author will not see the personal details of the reviewer.

  1. Next Steps

If accepted, the paper is sent to production. If the article is rejected or sent back for major or minor revision, the editor should include constructive comments from the reviewers to help the author improve the article. If the paper was returned for revision, the reviewers should expect to receive a new version, unless they have opted out of further participation. However, where only minor changes were requested this follow-up review might be done by the handling editor.
