Peer review involves the assessment of your research and scholarly work by experts in your field. These experts will evaluate the validity, quality, and suitability for publication.
All submitted manuscripts are evaluated by one of our editors within one month to determine suitability for review in IRELC. If accepted for external review, manuscripts are peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the editor. Typically, one has broad general knowledge of the field, and one has expertise in the particular topic or methodology. Within six months, authors can expect to receive one of four decisions: (a) manuscript acceptance, (b) acceptance with revisions, (c) nonacceptance with an invitation for revision and resubmission for another round of review, or (d) rejection and recommendation for submission to a different publication.
