02 · Editorial Assessment
Double-Blind Peer Review
IJRI follows a double-blind peer-review model. Author and reviewer identities are concealed from one another during the review process. Research manuscripts are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.
Editorial decisions consider originality, methodological quality, relevance, clarity, research integrity and reviewer recommendations. Acceptance is determined by the editorial decision, not by payment of publication charges.
Preparing the anonymised manuscript
- Remove author names and affiliations from the review copy.
- Remove identifying acknowledgements from the review copy.
- Check document properties for author-identifying metadata.
- Provide the full author details on a separate title page.
