The peer review process for journal publication is essentially a quality control mechanism. After a paper is submitted to Dhaka Vishwaviddalay Potrika, the editorial board screens the manuscript and decides on the basis of the merit of the paper whether or not to send it for full peer review. Only after clearing the initial screening, the manuscript is sent to two peer reviewers. In general, it takes 3-4 weeks to complete the peer review. The peer review process is illustrated in the following flowchart:

Finally, the editorial board considers the peer reviewers’ reports and makes the final decision to accept or reject the manuscript for publication. The following are the most common decisions that are made:

accept without any changes (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper in its original form;
accept with minor revisions (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper and ask the author to make small corrections;
accept after major revisions (conditional acceptance): the journal will publish the paper provided the authors make the changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editors;
revise and resubmit (conditional rejection): the journal is willing to reconsider the paper in another round of decision-making after the authors make major changes;
reject the paper (outright rejection): the journal will not publish the paper or reconsider it even if the authors make major revisions.
