The proposal should include Title, aims and scope, list of guest editors, including their names, affiliations and brief biography of each guest editor, submission deadline, first round of review and publication date. All proposals for special issues should be forwarded to the journal’s editorial office (info@gauravpublications.com) for approval by the Editorial Board members. Once proposal is accepted, a call-for-papers will be posted on the journal’s website. To ensure the success of a Special Issue, a minimum of 15 manuscripts are required for publication. Guest Editors are required to manage the peer-review process of the submitted manuscripts. Guest Editors will need to read and review manuscripts thoroughly for the selection and recommendation of suitable articles for publication in the Special Issue. Review Process (Peer Review) At Gaurav Publications double blind peer-review process has been followed. After the initial green signal by the editor, the papers are sent to the suitable reviewers. The reviewers then monitor the manuscripts and extra papers from the editor and determine whether they fulfill the standards of scientific guidelines or not. Each reviewer will review and have his opinion on the manuscript. Reviewers will take a look at the study design, significance of the study, clarity of language, result presentation etc. The reviewers will also recommend publication to the journal editor. Based on the feedback and recommendations, the editor will decide whether the paper will be accepted or not, or sent for revision. The editor will write a decision letter to the authors. It is quite rare for a paper to be accepted as the original draft. In case the manuscripts don’t fulfil the standards of scientific guidelines, the suggestions are made to the editor to take the required steps. Article Processing Charges (APCs): No APCs for publication of articles in this journal. It is free to publish papers in this journal.
