Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
Original articles submitted to IRIE are evaluated in the "double-blind" mode - which ensures mutual anonymity between authors and reviewers - by at least two reviewers. Case studies submitted to IRIE are evaluated first by and editor and then an anonymous reviewer.
Original Research: double anonymised review process.
Your article will usually be reviewed by at least two independent experts to assess its scientific quality. Our editors will then make the final decision regarding its acceptance, rejection or request for corrections.
Case Study: single anonymized review process.
Your article will first be reviewed by an editor who may request adjustments and corrections. it will then be sent to a reviewer for an independent evaluation by an expert on its scientific quality.
Interviews and Book Reviews: editorial review process.
The text will be reviewed by one or more editors.
In the case of manuscripts previously deposited as preprints by the authors, in agreement with IRIE's Open Access and Self-Archiving Policy, the evaluation will follow the "single-blind" mode without guaranteeing the anonymity of the manuscript's authors to the reviewers.
If the opinions of these reviewers differ, the article may be submitted for evaluation by a third reviewer.
Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the journal will issue one of the following opinions:
- Recommended for publication
- Recommended for publication with modifications
- Not recommended for publication.
When the Editorial Committee indicates modifications only to grammatical, spelling, or formatting aspects, it reserves the right to make them, respecting the author's style. In other cases, it will be up to the author to reformulate the text according to the Editorial Committee's indications.
