Editing Procedures

All submissions to the Interdisciplinary Journal of Research and Development (IJRD) undergo a rigorous blind peer review process. Peer reviewers evaluate each manuscript for scholarly accuracy, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope. Based on their assessment, they provide recommendations to the Editorial Board to assist in the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection.

Upon review, each peer reviewer submits a detailed report along with one of the following recommendations:

  • Accept the manuscript for publication with no revisions;
  • Accept the manuscript with minor revisions;
  • Accept the manuscript with major revisions;
  • Reject the manuscript.

Once the editor receives the reviewers' reports, the recommendations and feedback are communicated to the author. Authors are expected to revise and resubmit the manuscript within a deadline specified by the editor.

The revised submission is then evaluated by the editor to determine if it meets the journal's standards for publication. If approved, the manuscript proceeds to the copy editing stage, where it is reviewed for adherence to IJRD’s formatting and style guidelines.

Following copy editing, the editor conducts a final quality check before the article is published in the journal.
