In summary, all manuscripts submitted for publication in our journals undergo strict and comprehensive peer-review. The review process is single blind. If the manuscript is deemed appropriate for full review, it will be reviewed by a minimum of two external reviewers.
The submitted manuscripts shall be subjected to a thorough initial check, including a Plagiarism Check conducted within the Editorial Office. Leading the peer-review process shall be an Editor – usually the Editor-in-Chief or a board member of the journal, working alongside the Editorial Office. It starts with a Preliminary Review by the Editor (which is completed no later than 10 days after the manuscript submission).
Upon acceptance for full review, the Editor will collect a minimum of two review comments and prepare a decision letter based on the comments of the reviewers (to be completed within four weeks after the preliminary review). The decision letter is then forwarded to the Corresponding Author requesting an appropriate manuscript revision (to be peer-reviewed again, if necessary). The author shall subsequently receive a request to format the manuscript according to SCIRP’s template before proceeding into the typesetting and proofreading stage with the publisher. Prior to the online publication of the manuscript, the author will receive a PDF copy produced by SCIRP for checking.

Join SCIRP's Peer-Review Program!
SCIRP is globally recognized as one of the largest academic Open Access publishers. Our multi-disciplinary journals require all manuscript submissions to undergo rigorous peer-review. Our esteemed reviewers take part in the evaluation of all manuscripts submitted to our journals. Based on the reviewer's comments, the Handling Editor, usually the Editor-in-Chief, is subsequently making a final decision concerning the manuscript's required improvement. We, at SCIRP, cordially invite you to participate in our peer-review program. Through your participation, you will support authors from around the world by supplying your valuable expertise via ideas and suggestions.
