Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Interlink: Multidisciplinary Journal undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which both the authors’ and reviewers’ identities are kept anonymous to ensure objective assessment.

Review Stages:

1. Initial Editorial Screening:
   The editor evaluates whether the manuscript fits the journal’s focus and scope and follows the submission guidelines.

2. Plagiarism Check:
   The manuscript is screened using plagiarism detection software. Submissions with a high similarity index will be returned or rejected.

3. Reviewer Assignment:
   Submissions that pass the initial check are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise.

4. Peer Review Process:
   Reviewers assess the manuscript based on originality, scholarly contribution, methodological clarity, and topic relevance. The review typically takes 2–4 weeks.

5. Editorial Decision:
   Based on reviewers’ recommendations, the editor will decide to:

   • Accept without revision

   • Accept with minor revision

   • Accept with major revision

   • Reject

6. Revision and Re-evaluation:
   If necessary, revised manuscripts may be sent back to reviewers for further evaluation before the final decision is made.
