Double-Blind Peer Review Statement
The Journal of Research Innovation and Development (JRID) employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure the highest standards of academic quality, integrity, and impartiality.
In this system:
Authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process.
Reviewers do not have access to any identifying information about the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.
Manuscripts are reviewed solely on the basis of their scholarly merit, methodological soundness, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
The editorial team ensures that submitted manuscripts are stripped of identifying information before being sent to reviewers. Reviewers are selected based on their subject expertise, academic qualifications, and experience in scholarly publishing.
All submitted papers are initially screened by the editorial board to assess suitability and adherence to submission guidelines. Only manuscripts that pass this initial check are sent for peer review. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team makes the final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection.
This rigorous double-blind review policy upholds the journal’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and academic excellence.
