All the submissions undergo comprehensive review by in house editors and are subsequently allotted to experts for the second stage of blind peer - review.

To this regard, SSLJ follows the peer review guidelines followed by the world’s leading journals. Editorial & Peer Review Process.

Articles submitted to Shodh Sanchay Mutidisciplinary quarterly A Journal of Smt.A.P.Patel Arts & N.P.Patel Commerce College of Gujarat University are evaluated based on their alignment with the journal's scope, academic quality, novelty, relevance to our readership, and their contribution to Vidya’s core objectives. We employ a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that both the authors' and reviewers' identities remain anonymous.

If the manuscript passes the initial screening, it is assigned to a handling editor, who forwards it to at least two expert reviewers. The manuscript is anonymized, and a double-blind peer review is conducted. If the manuscript does not pass the initial screening, it is rejected without further review.

In the final stage, the handling editor decides whether the revised manuscript meets the standards for publication. If accepted, the manuscript is queued for typesetting, proofreading, and publication in an upcoming issue. If the revisions are inadequate, the manuscript is rejected.

This process ensures that all articles published in Shodh Sanchay Multidisciplinary Quarterly published Literary Journal meet the highest standards of academic quality and relevance.
