Review Process

By using this phenomenon, articles with poor literature or low-quality publication filter automatically at the very initial stage. 

Publishers use peer review methods for maintaining the journal's standard and quality for publishing, and research studies its one of the most authentic techniques for creating a journal as a brand or remarkable as a publisher. In addition to making the journal review process more valuable, it is important to go through a transparent and standardized peer review process.
