Peer Review

Peer review of each article submitted is done very carefully so as to avoid fictitious and falsified submissions. VIP follows a single-blinded peer review process, where the identity and affiliations are kept open to the editor but not vice versa.

The peer review criteria of VIPs would be a hassle-free and efficient process. Every manuscript submitted would be checked for plagiarism and an initial assessment for further processing and rejection would be decided. Each manuscript would be forwarded to the concerned EIC of the Journal to assign for review to at least 2-3 reviewers. The reviewers then scrutinize the assigned manuscript accordingly and provide their comments in an electronic review form with a given lieu of time, i.e., 14 to 21 days, the ultimate decision of acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is reflected in the review report. In case of any difference in opinion, then the third referee’s comments are taken into account.

The review reports would be forwarded to the author and EIC. The final approval is by the respective EIC of the Journal on the basis of the reviewer’s comments. The entire process of critical, positive, and unbiased review takes 3-4 weeks approximately.

High Quality

What is the impact factor and do your journals have an impact factor?

The impact factor is a measure of the frequency of articles cited in a journal in a particular year. It is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations by the articles published in that journal during the previous two years. According to Thomson Reuters, a publisher must complete three consecutive issues for the Impact Factor evaluation process.

Who takes the final decision on the manuscript?

Initially, we assign the manuscript to reviewers and finally to Senior Editors/EIC for final approval. The final decision of the manuscript includes the subject area, contribution of the article to the scientific field, and advances/findings in the relevant area.
