Peer Reviewer Process

All submitted manuscripts will be read by the editorial staff. Manuscripts that are evaluated by the editors but do not fit the journal's criteria will be immediately rejected without external review. Manuscripts that are evaluated as having the potential to be of interest to our readers are sent to reviewers. The editor then makes a decision based on the reviewer's recommendation from several possibilities: rejected, major revision, minor revision, or accepted.

The editor has the right to decide which manuscripts will be published.

Review Process:

• Authors submit manuscripts directly to INTEGRITY Journal of Public Policy and Governance Studies. 
• Editor/Desk Review Evaluation (including plagiarism check by TURNITIN, accuracy of references, conformity to focus and scope. Manuscripts may be rejected or returned to the review process).
• Double-Blind Peer Review Process (Reviewer and Author identities are kept confidential).
• Editor's Decision (based on revised article).
• Proofread.
• Confirmation to the author.
