Except the editors, the peer reviewers will not be aware of the names and affiliations of the authors. The aim of this review process is to determine the originality, validity and relevance of the manuscripts. Successful manuscripts will pass through five stages: initial screening, peer reviews, editorial assessment, authorial revision and editorial reviews. All the submissions will undergo the following rigorous peer review process:\n<img src=\"http:\/\/ejournals.pncampus.edu.np\/ejournals\/eltp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/process.jpg\"\/><br\/>\nAs illustrated in the figure, all the manuscripts will undergo initial screening that includes a plagiarism check and checks against the author guidelines. If the submissions cannot pass this process, they will immediately be rejected. If passed, they will undergo a step-by-step review process that will take 4-6 months.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<b>Stage 1:<\/b> Initial Screening: After all submissions are screened by the editors for relevance, they will be checked for plagiarism. If they are successful in the initial screening and plagiarism check, they will be accepted for another step, that is, peer reviews.\n<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<b>Stage 2:<\/b> Peer Reviews All accepted manuscripts will be reviewed by two reviewers who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is publishable or not. They will produce peer review reports and send them to the editorial board for consideration. The reviewers will not recognize the identification of the authors, including their names and affiliations.\n<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<b>Stage 3:<\/b> Editorial Assessment On the basis of the reviewers\u2019 reports, the editors will determine whether the manuscripts should be sent to the authors for revision or not. The editors\u2019 decision will be the final in this case.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<b>Stage 4:<\/b> Authorial Revision The authors will be provided with the reviewers\u2019 reports, including the editors\u2019 instructions for revision of the manuscripts. The authors will not recognize the identification of the reviewers\u2019 names and affiliations.\n<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<b>Stage 5:<\/b> Editorial Reviews, Proofreading and Final Decision All revised manuscripts will be reviewed by the editors to make sure that they are up to the standards of the journal for publication. Proofreading will be done by both desk editors and the concerned authors. The editors will then reach a decision based on the reports sent by the reviewers and the authors\u2019 revised submissions. The editors may reject the revised manuscripts if the revised manuscripts are not properly revised and proofread. Finally, the editorial board will write a letter of acceptance to the successful authors for publication.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<b>Publication Charge<\/b>\n<p align=\"justify\">Since it is funded by the hosting institution, the journal does not charge the authors for publishing the articles.<\/p>\n<b>Open Access Policy<\/b>\n<p align=\"justify\">ELT Perspectives permits the readers to read, download and share the published articles on our ejournals site ( https:\/\/ejournals.pncampus.edu.np\/ejournals\/eltp\/).
