The Publisher and the Editorial Board of all our Journals are putting rigorous efforts to deliver high-quality content with the highest transparency and cleanest ethical behaviour. With the - intent to follow the best practice, below procedures are adhered:
The registration and submission of manuscripts is open for all, from all corners of the world. We are using Online Journals System (OJS) for submission and publication of articles in ADR. This system facilitates communication between authors, editors and reviewers in order to ensure a transparent and rapid review process. Assistance to Authors and steps for how to submit the manuscript can be accessed HERE.
Authors are requested to submit their papers with a declaration of copyright and also state conflict of interest in their articles. ADR is committed to the quality and transparency of the Editorial process. We are trying hard to maintain ethical and transparent practices but it is not possible without the support of readers, authors, reviewers, whole team a and entire board of ADR. We humbly request all of you to support us in avoiding plagiarism and publishing beneficial content for the readers.
We are highly dependent upon Editors for their decision on each article as we assign the manuscripts on basis of their area of interest/ expertise. Editorial Policy can be accessed HERE.
We request authors to give 3 references for peer–review. It is not necessary that we assign manuscript to their referred reviewer but it can be our internal reviewer's as well. Newly submitted manuscript primarily goes through plagiarism check via turn it in plagiarism through crossref's collaboration. Second step is their screening by the Editors: the manuscript might get rejected if it is found to be of insufficient quality, outside focus and scope of the Journal or if they are considered not original. Articles that meet minimal requirements are assigned to the Reviewers and we assign it to minimum 3 reviewers (2 are authors recommended and 1 random). Then we wait for their response and accordingly their decision is send to the editor.
The Final decision on the manuscript is taken by the Editor. In case there are any conflict issues then only we involve the Editor in chief of the Journal. Our Reviewer Policies can be accessed HERE.
Once the review process is through and if the manuscript is accepted then we outsource the article for copyediting. In case there are any queries by the copy-editor then we have to revert to the author. Once strict scrutiny is completed then we initiate formatting of the paper in our decided layout and send the camera ready copy to the Authors for proofreading. The is published with the formal consent of the author after proofreading the entire document.
Letter to Editors: We request the readers to verify our published content and for any concerns please feel free to write a letter to the publisher/ editor and get answer to your concerns.
