Welcome to SKG Publishers: Elevating Academic Excellence

At SKG Publishers, we are dedicated to high-quality, open-access publishing across a diverse range of subject-specific journals. With over a century of experience, our commitment to fast and efficient peer review ensures that your research reaches its audience without unnecessary delays.

Our Peer Review Process

We uphold research integrity through a rigorous double-anonymized peer-review process:

1. Initial Submission: Manuscripts undergo a preliminary technical evaluation to ensure compliance with our guidelines. If not met, we return submissions for corrections.
2. Editorial Assessment: Submissions that meet our criteria are evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief for suitability and quality. Unsuitable manuscripts may be rejected at this stage.
3. Reviewer Selection: For suitable papers, the Editor-in-Chief collaborates with Section Editors to recruit at least two independent, external reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.
4. Review and Recommendation: Section Editors compile reviewer feedback and make recommendations to the Editor-in-Chief, suggesting either revisions, rejections, or continuation of the peer review process.
5. Final Decision: The Editor-in-Chief makes the ultimate decision on all submissions. Authors receive anonymous peer-review reports along with the editorial decision, promoting transparency.

Ensuring Integrity and Transparency

We prioritize ethical standards throughout the review process:

• Conflict of Interest: Reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts before accepting invitations to review.
• Confidentiality: All communications are kept confidential, protecting authors' intellectual property until publication.
• Reviewer Ethics: Adherence to COPE's Ethical Guidelines ensures fairness and integrity.

Revision Guidelines

For manuscripts requiring revisions, authors receive a decision letter detailing comments and instructions. Key points include:

• Response to Reviewers: Authors must address each reviewer's comment in a point-by-point format.
• Submission Timeliness: Revised manuscripts must be submitted by the specified deadline, with extensions available upon request.

Commitment to Quality

At SKG Publishers Journals, we take pride in maintaining high academic standards. Each manuscript undergoes:

• Plagiarism Check: Rigorous checks using advanced software and manual methods safeguard originality.
• Editorial Review Process: Articles cleared for originality are comprehensively reviewed to assess their scope, relevance, and adherence to standards.

The Importance of Peer Review

Peer review is fundamental to academic publishing. It ensures:

• Expert Analysis: Manuscripts are analyzed for clarity, accuracy, and impact.
• Reviewer Contributions: Insights from reviewers enhance manuscripts and uphold scholarly evaluation standards.
• Customized Review Strategies: Review strategies may be tailored to the specific needs of each journal.

Finalization and Publication

After peer review and necessary revisions, authors accept the finalized version, which is then scheduled for publication. Post-publication updates are managed through Cross Mark, with potential additional charges for significant changes.
