Peer Review Policy

At Ethical Publication House, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and academic rigor in all our publishing activities. To ensure the quality and credibility of the works we publish, we follow a structured peer review process for all academic and research-based manuscripts.

1. Purpose of Peer Review

The peer review process helps us:

  • Maintain high standards of academic excellence.

  • Provide constructive feedback to authors.

  • Ensure the originality, relevance, and contribution of submitted work.

2. Types of Peer Review

We follow a Double-Blind Peer Review process:

  • The identity of the author(s) is not disclosed to the reviewers.

  • The identity of the reviewers is not disclosed to the author(s).

This approach ensures an unbiased and fair evaluation of the manuscript.

3. Reviewer Selection

Reviewers are selected based on:

  • Their subject expertise relevant to the manuscript.

  • Academic and research credentials.

  • Previous experience in reviewing scholarly content.

All reviewers are independent and not affiliated with the authors or their institutions.
