Review Process
IJFRMS follows a well-defined review process to review the manuscripts submitted.
Step 1: Submission of Manuscript
The author submits the completed manuscript using the journal’s submission process.
Step 2: Initial Editorial Screening
The editorial team checks whether the manuscript:
- Fits the journal's scope.
- Meets basic submission requirements.
- Is appropriately prepared.
- It appears original.
- Meets applicable ethical requirements.
Step 3: Selection of the Reviewers
The appropriate reviewers are chosen based on their knowledge of either mathematics, statistics or the research field.
Step 4: Double-blind peer review
The manuscript goes through the process of peer reviewing where the anonymity of both the reviewers and the authors is maintained.
Step 5: Reviewers' evaluation
The reviewers assess the originality of the manuscript, its methodology, mathematical/statistical soundness, findings, discussion, and academic contributions.
Step 6: Editorial Decision
Based on reviewer feedback, the editor may:
- Accept the manuscript.
- Request minor revisions.
- Request major revisions.
- Reject the manuscript.
Step 7: Revision
In case of any revisions required, authors must make sure to attend to the reviewers’ comments and submit a revised manuscript.
The writer will have to submit a response stating that he/she has taken into account all the problems brought up by the reviewer.
Step 8: Final Review
The editor reviews the revised article along with the suggestions of the reviewer.
Step 9: Publication
Manuscripts accepted for publication go through the editorial and production process before getting published online.
This process is designed to make sure that research which gets published adheres to proper academic standards while ensuring fairness to the author(s).
