• In academic journals, manuscripts are typically
  peer-reviewed through a rigorous evaluation
  process involving external experts in the field.
• The peer review process helps ensure the quality,
  validity, and significance of the research before
  it is accepted for publication.
• Here is a general overview of how manuscripts are
  usually peer-reviewed

• SUBMISSION
• After a researcher submits their manuscript to a
  journal, it undergoes an initial screening by the
  journal's editorial team.
• They assess whether the manuscript meets the
  journal submission scope and guidelines.
• It proceeds to the peer review in the science
  stage if it passes the initial screening.

• REVIEWER SELECTION
• THE JOURNAL'S EDITOR(S) IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL
  REVIEWERS WITH EXPERTISE IN THE SUBJECT AREA
  RELEVANT TO THE MANUSCRIPT.
• REVIEWERS ARE TYPICALLY RESEARCHERS, SCHOLARS, OR
  EXPERTS WHO HAVE PUBLISHED IN THE FIELD
  THEMSELVES

• REVIEWER INVITATION
• REVIEWERS ARE INVITED TO ASSESS THE MANUSCRIPT BY
  THE EDITOR(S).
• THEY CAN ACCEPT OR DECLINE THE INVITATION BASED
  ON THEIR AVAILABILITY AND EXPERTISE.

• PEER REVIEW PROCESS
• REVIEWERS EVALUATE THE MANUSCRIPT FOR ITS
  SCIENTIFIC RIGOUR, METHODOLOGY, ORIGINALITY,
  CLARITY OF WRITING, AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE
  FIELD.
• THEY PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES,
  AND AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT.
• THIS ASSESSMENT MAY BE DONE THROUGH A
  SINGLE-BLIND REVIEW (WHERE THE REVIEWERS KNOW THE
  AUTHOR'S IDENTITY BUT NOT VICE VERSA) OR A
  DOUBLE-BLIND PEER REVIEW (WHERE THE IDENTITIES OF
  BOTH AUTHORS AND REVIEWERS ARE CONCEALED).

• REVIEWER COMMENTS
• REVIEWERS TYPICALLY PROVIDE DETAILED COMMENTS,
  SUGGESTIONS, AND CRITIQUES TO THE EDITOR(S)
  REGARDING THE MANUSCRIPT'S STRENGTHS AND
  WEAKNESSES.
• THEY MAY RECOMMEND ACCEPTANCE, REVISION, OR
  REJECTION BASED ON THEIR ASSESSMENT.

• AUTHOR REVISIONS
• IF REQUESTED, THE EDITOR(S) COMMUNICATE THE
  REVIEWER'S COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO THE
  AUTHOR.
• THE AUTHOR THEN REVISES THE MANUSCRIPT
  ACCORDINGLY, ADDRESSING THE REVIEWER'S CONCERNS
  AND MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.

• EDITOR'S DECISION
• THE EDITOR(S) CONSIDER THE REVIEWER'S COMMENTS,
  THE REVISED MANUSCRIPT, AND THEIR ASSESSMENT TO
  DECIDE THE MANUSCRIPT.
• THE DECISION CAN BE ACCEPTANCE, ACCEPTANCE WITH
  MINOR REVISIONS, ACCEPTANCE WITH MAJOR REVISIONS,
  OR REJECTION.
• MULTIPLE REVISIONS AND REVIEWS MAY SOMETIMES BE
  REQUIRED BEFORE REACHING A FINAL DECISION.

• PUBLICATION
• ONCE A MANUSCRIPT IS ACCEPTED, IT MOVES FORWARD
  IN THE PUBLICATION PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES
  COPYEDITING, TYPESETTING, AND FORMATTING.
• FINALLY, THE MANUSCRIPT IS PUBLISHED IN THE
  JOURNAL, MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO THE ACADEMIC
  COMMUNITY.

• It's important to note that the peer review
  process can vary slightly between journal format
  and disciplines.
• Some journals may also incorporate additional
  steps, such as a second round of review or an
  editorial board meeting to discuss the
  manuscript's fate.
• The overall goal of peer review manuscripts is to
  ensure the quality and integrity of published
  qualitative research journals by subjecting them
  to rigorous evaluation by experts in the field.

• In academic journals of scientific research,
  manuscripts are typically PubMed peer-reviewed
  through anonymous evaluation by independent
  experts in the same or related field as the
  author(s) of the manuscript.
• The peer-review process helps to ensure the
  quality and validity of research published in
  academic journals.
