Double-Anonymized Peer Review Policy

Peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly evaluation at International Journal of Research, Exploration & Knowledge (IJREK). Every manuscript submitted to the journal undergoes impartial, evidence-based, and objective evaluation by independent domain specialists.

Our peer-review process ensures theoretical validity, methodological reproducibility, originality, ethical compliance, and scholarly clarity before publication.

IJREK operates a strict double-anonymized review protocol:

• Reviewers do not receive author identities, institutional affiliations, or country of origin.
• Authors are not informed of the identities of the peer reviewers assigned to evaluate their work.
• All handling editors and staff are bound to maintain the confidentiality of all reviewer identities and reports.

Reviewers are appointed based on verified academic standing, research track record, and specific subject-matter alignment.

Reviewers must decline evaluation invitations if any personal, academic, or financial conflict of interest exists with the authors or collaborating institutions.

Reviewers provide independent scholarly recommendations (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject) and detailed commentary. The assigned handling Editor holds the final authority for all editorial decisions.
