Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Sanskriti: Journal of Humanities undergo a rigorous evaluation process to ensure high academic standards and relevance to the journal's scope.

1. Initial Review: Each submission is initially reviewed by the Editorial Board to assess its alignment with the journal’s focus, originality, novelty, sufficiency of data, and adherence to formatting guidelines.
2. Double-Blind Peer Review: Manuscripts meeting the initial criteria are sent to at least two peer reviewers for evaluation through a double-blind peer review process, ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers.
3. Review Outcomes: Upon completion of the review process, the assigned editor evaluates the reviewers’ feedback and makes an initial decision:
• Revisions Required: If revisions are necessary, the manuscript is returned to the authors with specific feedback for improvement.
• Final Decision: After revisions are resubmitted, the editor makes the final decision to accept or reject the manuscript.

Reviewer Selection and Conflict of Interest:

• Authors may recommend potential reviewers in their cover letter. The editorial team ensures there are no conflicts of interest before contacting these reviewers.
• Authors can also request the exclusion of specific reviewers during submission. These requests are honored as long as they do not compromise the objective assessment of the manuscript.
• Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, research experience, and publication record in fields relevant to the manuscript. Parameters such as citation metrics and h-index values may also be considered.

Peer reviewers evaluate manuscripts on both substantial and technical aspects, contributing to the journal's commitment to maintaining scholarly rigor and quality.
