Peer Review Policy
International Journal of Technical and Non-Technical Research and Analysis (IJTNRA)
The International Journal of Technical and Non-Technical Research and Analysis (IJTNRA) follows a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, relevance, and academic integrity of all published manuscripts.
Review Model
IJTNRA follows a Double-Blind Peer Review Process, where the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process.
Initial Editorial Screening
Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the Editorial Office to verify:
- Compliance with the journal's scope and objectives
- Adherence to submission guidelines
- Originality and plagiarism check
- Completeness of manuscript files
Manuscripts failing to meet these requirements may be returned to authors for correction or rejected without external review.
Peer Review Process
After successful editorial screening, the manuscript is assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant subject area.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on:
- Originality of research
- Scientific and academic quality
- Methodology and analysis
- Clarity of presentation
- Relevance to the journal's scope
- Quality of references and citations
- Ethical compliance
Review Outcomes
Based on reviewer recommendations, the Editor may decide:
- Accept without revisions
- Accept with minor revisions
- Accept with major revisions
- Reject the manuscript
The final publication decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief.
Revision Process
Authors receiving revision requests must submit a revised manuscript along with a response explaining how reviewer comments have been addressed.
Confidentiality
All submitted manuscripts and reviewer comments are treated as confidential documents. Reviewers are expected not to disclose, share, or use unpublished information for personal benefit.
Ethical Standards
Reviewers are required to:
- Maintain confidentiality
- Declare any conflicts of interest
- Provide objective and constructive feedback
- Report suspected plagiarism, duplicate publication, or unethical practices
Review Timeline
- Initial Editorial Screening: 3–7 days
- Peer Review: 1–3 weeks
- Final Editorial Decision: 1 week after receipt of reviewer reports
- The total review process generally takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the manuscript and reviewer availability.
Publication Decision
Only manuscripts that successfully complete the peer review process and satisfy the journal's quality standards are accepted for publication.
