Reference Clarity

Conflict of interest
1. Peer reviewers are not permitted to use unpublished manuscripts for personal use without the written consent of the authors, under any circumstances.

2. The information and ideas contained in the reviewed manuscripts are confidential and may not be distributed or used for personal gain.

3. If they have a conflict of interest due to reasons of competition, collaboration, or other relationships with authors, institutions or companies involved in publishing, peer reviewers are not permitted to evaluate the related manuscript.

» Peer Review Process

Every submitted article is independently reviewed by at least a double-blind review (peer-reviewers). The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations.  After being reviewed, there will be four kinds of editor decisions based on the reviewers’ recommendation:

  1. Accept Submission: The submission will be accepted without revisions.
  2. Revisions Required: The submission will be accepted after minor changes have been made.
  3. Resubmit for Review: The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, it may be accepted. It will require a second round of review, however.
  4. Decline Submission: The submission will not be published in the journal.


» Article Revision

The articles sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. The revised article returned later than 10 days will be considered as new submissions. The revised article can be sent to the editorial through the Online Submission Interface.
