Authors submit their manuscripts via online system call for papers. Each research manuscript is assigned to an external editor for the double blinded peer review process which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.
The Review Process step by step
All articles submitted to Dasson Publication undergo to a rigorous double blinded peer review process. The review process may take up to 30-45 days. If reviewers needs more time, authors will be notified for the delay.
The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the journal. You can use the online system.
1. Editorial Office Assessment
The journal checks the paper’s composition and arrangement against the journal’s Author Guidelines to make sure it includes the required sections and stylizations. The Office checks also that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. If not, the paper may be rejected without being reviewed any further. The paper at this stage is checked with Ithenticate software for plagiarism.
2. Invitation to Reviewers
The editor sends invitations to individuals that would be appropriate reviewers. As responses are received, further invitations are issued, if necessary, until the required number of acceptances is obtained.
3. Response to Invitations
Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability. They then accept or decline. When declining, they might also suggest alternative reviewers or the Editor will invite another one.
4. Review is Conducted
The reviewer sets time aside to read and review the paper. The reviewer takes notes so as to build a detailed point-by-point review. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it – or else with a request for revision (major or minor) before it is reconsidered.
5. Journal Evaluates the Reviews
The editor considers all the returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, the editor may invite an additional reviewer so as to get an extra opinion before making a decision.
6. The Decision is Communicated
The editor sends a decision email to the author including any relevant reviewer comments. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final
Revised Submissions
Regardless of the file format of the original submission, at revision authors must provide the journal with an editable file of the entire article. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your word processor.
How to prepare a Blinded Manuscript
Besides the obvious need to remove names and affiliations under the title within the manuscript, there are other steps that need to be taken to ensure the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review.
