Peer Review Guidelines for Research Pro Journal

At Reseapro Journal, our commitment to ethical publishing begins with a clear, robust, and globally aligned set of peer review guidelines. These principles are designed to uphold scientific integrity, ensure fairness, and strengthen the trust researchers place in our peer-reviewed journals.

Why Peer Review Matters in Academic Publishing

The peer review process is the cornerstone of trusted scholarship. It plays a vital role in validating research findings, improving manuscript quality, and protecting the integrity of the academic record.

At Reseapro, our goal is to foster a transparent, unbiased, and constructive review environment where reviewers are not just evaluators but collaborators in knowledge dissemination.

Through our double-blind peer review system, we guarantee objectivity—both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. This framework minimizes biases, ensures academic credibility, and aligns with international peer review guidelines and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) standards.

We publish high-quality research across multiple disciplines—engineering, medicine, artificial intelligence, business, agriculture, and the humanities—as part of our open access initiative to democratize global research dissemination.

The Peer Review Process at Reseapro

Our peer review system ensures that all submissions undergo thorough, ethical, and timely evaluations.

Key Steps in the Review Workflow

  • Manuscript Submission: Authors upload manuscripts via our secure Editorial Management System (EMS).
  • Initial Screening: Editorial staff screen for scope fit, plagiarism (via Turnitin), and compliance with journal formatting and ethical standards.
  • Reviewer Selection & Invitation: Reviewers are chosen based on expertise, publication history, and relevance to the manuscript's subject matter.
  • Evaluation Phase: Assigned reviewers assess the submission according to defined peer review guidelines and submit feedback through the EMS.
  • Editorial Decision: The editor considers all reviews to make a decision: accept, request revision, or reject.
  • Revisions & Follow-Up: In case of major or minor revisions, authors resubmit, and reviewers may re-evaluate accordingly.
  • Timeline: We request reviewers to submit their evaluations within 14 days. Extensions are available on request.

Responsibilities of Peer Reviewers

As a reviewer, you help shape the global research landscape. Your role extends beyond critique—you are a gatekeeper of quality and integrity in academic peer review.

Core Reviewer Responsibilities

  • Confidentiality: Treat all manuscript content as privileged information. Do not share or discuss with third parties.
  • Constructive Criticism: Offer specific, actionable feedback that helps authors improve their work.
  • Objectivity: Evaluate based on academic merit—never allow personal bias or institutional affiliation to interfere.
  • Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Disclose any relationships that may compromise your impartiality.
  • Respectful Language: Avoid personal criticism. Maintain a professional, courteous tone.
  • Ethical Conduct: Do not use unpublished information for personal research or benefit.

Evaluation Criteria for Peer Review

To ensure consistency and fairness, reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts based on the following parameters:

Evaluation Criteria Key Review Questions

  • Originality & Novelty: Does the manuscript provide new insights or contribute meaningfully to the field?
  • Scientific Rigor: Are the methods sound, replicable, and statistically valid?
  • Clarity & Structure: Is the manuscript logically organized with clear objectives, methodology, and findings?
  • Ethical Compliance: Has the research received necessary ethical approvals (IRB, informed consent)?
  • Data Presentation: Are tables, figures, and statistical analyses accurate and well-labeled?
  • Scope Alignment: Is the submission relevant to the journal's theme and target audience?
  • Impact & Relevance: Will this study be useful to scholars, policymakers, or industry professionals?

Tip: When in doubt, refer to the author's objectives and check whether their conclusions are well-supported by data.

Reviewer Ethics and AI Use

  • Do not use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) to read, assess, or analyze manuscript content.
  • If AI is used to enhance your feedback (e.g., grammar check), it must be clearly disclosed in the comments.
  • Follow all COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.
  • Alert the editorial office about any suspected issues like plagiarism or research misconduct.
