The aim and objective of PBRI is to ensure the high standards of the original and
scientific research papers and articles. All the published research papers and articles
are double blind peer reviewed.
In the case of proposed publications, our editorial board will judge and evaluate
the proposed manuscript on certain parameters like relevance of the submitted work
with the aims and scope of the journal, scientific quality of the work and contribution
of the work in respective branch of knowledge. If, the proposed work found suitable
in quick review by the editorial board than editor will forward copies of an author's
work to two experts ("referees" or "reviewers") in the respective field by e-mail
or through a web-based manuscript processing system.
These referees or reviewers will return an evaluation of the proposed work to the
editor in prescribed format along with acceptance and suggestions for improvement.
Further, this evaluation will be forwarded by editor after reviewing the comments
of referees in context with the scope of the journal to the author for consideration
and improvement of the proposed work.
Referees' evaluations usually include an explicit recommendation of what to do with
the manuscript or proposed work as per the options available in the prescribed format.
During this peer review process, the role of the referees is advisory, and the editor
is typically under no formal obligation to accept the opinions of the referees.
Moreover, in the process of scientific publication, the referees do not communicate
with each other, do not act as a group, and are not aware of each other’s identities
or comments.
In particular situations, where the referees disagree considerably about the quality
of a manuscript, there are a number of strategies for reaching a decision. When
the editor receives positive and negative reviews for the same manuscript by two
different reviewers, the editor will ask for one or more additional reviews or on
the basis of comments of one reviewer, the editor may take his/her decision about
the respective manuscript.
