Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to Meditory will undergo a rigorous screening and review process to ensure that they fit into the journal's scope and are of sufficient academic quality and novelty in the field. Meditory employs a single-blind peer review, meaning that the authors are not informed who the reviewers are. The process will be:
• Initial screening. A newly submitted manuscript will be screened by Assistant Editor for basic submission requirements and by one of the Editor-in-Chief for its conformity to Svāsthya Manuscripts that fail to pass the initial screening will be rejected without further review.
• Peer-review. If the manuscript passes the initial screening stage, it will be assigned to a handling editor, who will then send it to at least two experts in the relevant field to undergo a single-blind peer-review.
• First decision. A decision on a peer-reviewed manuscript will only be made upon the receipt of at least two review reports. At this stage, a manuscript can either be either rejected, asked for revisions (major or minor), or accepted. If it is accepted, the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author for formatting. The final decision to accept the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the recommendation of the handling editor.
• Revision stage. A manuscript that requires revisions will be returned to the submitting author, who will have up to three weeks to format and revise the manuscript, following which it will be reviewed by the handling editor. The handling editor will determine whether the changes are adequate and appropriate, as well as whether the author(s) sufficiently responded to the reviewers' comments and suggestions. If the revisions are deemed to be inadequate, this cycle will be repeated (the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author once more for further revision).
