Peer Review Process:

Articles received are immediately processed. Once the paper gets through the screening by the local team and Crossref Similarity Check against plagiarism using iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software (The Pushpa Publishing House follows strict discipline for accepting manuscripts below 30% overlap excluding references and quotations), it is passed on to the handling Editor who assigns referees with expertise in the field of work in the paper. Referees are requested to provide their reports within a period of three weeks. The reports of the referees help the handling Editor to arrive at a decision. In case of recommendation for revision, the Editor may advise the authors to re-submit their paper after due revision as per suggestions/comments of the referees. The revised paper is again evaluated by the same referees. On receiving the final decision from the Editor, the Editorial office at Prayagraj makes necessary correspondence with the author(s). In case of a clear recommendation for publication, the galley proofs of the paper are sent to the corresponding author. After the receipt of the corrected galley proofs, an effort is made to accommodate the paper in an issue to appear next. We understand that the policy of quick decision is in the interest of both the authors as well as the publishers. To ensure speedy publication articles which are sufficiently well presented and are judged by the Editors often get priority. Accepted papers get duly edited and typeset in the style of our journal by the publisher and the galley proofs are sent to the submitting authors. Once the corrections are received, the paper is finalized for the press. The final draft of the paper is again sent to the corresponding author who is asked to pass on further correction(s), if any, within a stipulated time. Then the paper is treated and ready for press.
