Peer Review Process

We use double blind peer review policy. Under this policy, we remove the name of the author(s) before sending an article to the reviewers. Likewise, the name of the reviewer is never revealed before the author(s) or anyone else, in any case. We have very dynamic and well-read scholars, researchers and renowned literary figures in our review panel to get the papers reviewed. All submissions are first reviewed by the editorial team for their completeness and then are sent for peer review. No submission is considered for review of any of the editorial member of Majallah.  Although Peer review reports play a major role in making any decision, editors will consider the review reports before making a decision, but they are not bound by the opinions or recommendations. The review process usually takes two to three months, as all the reviewers are working voluntarily. If a serious concern is raised by a reviewer or editorial member, that will result to the rejection of the manuscript.


The selection of peer reviewer is very important in publication process. We usually consider expertise and reputation of the reviewer before sending any submission to him/her. We also believe in diversity, inclusion and equity. We consider geographical, ethnic and gender identities when invite peer reviewers. The peer review reports will be in Urdu or English regarding the nature or language of the manuscript. We obtain at least two review reports of a manuscript before reaching a decision. After two positive review reports editorial team will consider a submission, and if find it according to the scope of the journal, and contributing in its research field, the manuscript is accepted. Once accepted, a manuscript is sent to the proof reader or a lay out editor. It will take almost two weeks to finally accept the manuscript for publication.
We only publish articles that inform original research or analysis of original research, so book reviews, commentaries or opinion articles are not published in Majallah-e-Tahqeeq.
