Peer Review Process

Articles submitted to IJBRR are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review process. The process is as follows:

• Initial Screening: The editorial team reviews submissions for scope, format, and originality.
• Peer Review: Submissions are reviewed by two or more independent experts. Both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous.
• Decision: Based on reviewers' reports, the editorial team makes one of the following decisions: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject.
• Revisions: Authors may be asked to revise their manuscript and resubmit for further review.

The review process typically takes 6-8 weeks.

Article Processing Charge

For articles accepted for publication, Authors are required to pay an APC to cover the cost of peer review, copyediting, and hosting the article.
