At CRID Book Publishing, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic quality, transparency, and integrity. Peer review is a cornerstone of our publishing process and helps ensure the scholarly value and credibility of all published works.

1. Purpose of Peer Review

Peer review evaluates a manuscript’s originality, relevance, methodological soundness, clarity, and contribution to the field. It serves to:

• Improve the quality of the manuscript

• Provide constructive feedback to authors

• Ensure scholarly standards are met

2. Type of Peer Review

We primarily use a single-blind peer review process, where:

• Reviewers know the identity of the authors

• Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers
  (In some cases, we may employ a double-blind or open review model, depending on the subject and nature of the manuscript.)

3. Reviewer Selection

Reviewers are selected based on their:

• Subject-matter expertise

• Academic credentials

• Prior experience in reviewing or publishing in related areas

Reviewers must declare any conflict of interest and maintain strict confidentiality.

4. Review Criteria

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on:

• Originality and significance of the content

• Theoretical and methodological rigor

• Clarity of structure and argument

• Appropriateness of references and citations

• Language quality and readability

5. Review Timeline

We aim to complete the review process within 4 to 6 weeks of submission. Authors will be kept informed of the status at every major stage.

6. Review Outcomes

Each manuscript may receive one of the following recommendations:

• Accept without revisions

• Accept with minor revisions

• Revise and resubmit (major revisions required)

• Reject

Authors will receive constructive comments and may be invited to resubmit revised versions.

7. Revision and Resubmission

If revisions are requested, authors must:

• Submit a revised manuscript within the given timeframe

• Provide a response letter detailing how reviewer comments were addressed

Revised manuscripts may be re-evaluated by the original reviewers or new experts, if necessary.

8. Confidentiality and Ethics

All manuscripts under review are treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must not share, discuss, or use any part of the manuscript for personal advantage.

 9. Reviewer Recognition

We value our reviewers’ contributions and may:

• Issue formal certificates upon request

• Acknowledge anonymous contributions in annual reports or websites (if permitted)
