Following checks are initially carried out by the managing editor.

• For each manuscript, the plagarism check report is generated using industry standard iThenticate software. 
• The suitability of research according to journal scope.

After initial checks, managing editor initiates the review process. The process is double-blind for most journals, meaning that the author and reviewers, both do not know the identity each other. 

Atleast two reviewers from same academic field review the manuscript. In few cases, more than two reviewers are engaged for rigourous evaluation of manuscript. Reviewers are given 7-10 days to write their review. Suggestions from reviewers are made available to the authors, where suggested correction are compulsory to be implemented by respective authors. The revised version (by the authors) is then re-reviwed by the managing editor or by the same reviewers if needed. Based on review results and revisions, editors are authorized to accept or reject the manuscript. 

The decision of Editor-in-Chief (to accept or reject the manuscript) is based upon various parameters.

• The novelty and overall scientific quality of the research.
• The justified theoretical and contextual contribution of the study in respective field.
• The suitability of reviewers comments.
• Author response to the comments and appropriate revisions/corrections.

The editor can select from: accept, reject, ask author for revision, ask for an additional reviewer. Reviewers are obliged to justify their decision with proper comments. Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to agree or disagree with the review comments. In case of disagrement, the manuscript is sent to another reviewer (other two assigned reviewers) for further evaluation. KWP staff or editorial board members (including Editors-in-Chief) are not involved in the processing their own academic work. Their submissions are assigned to at least two independent outside reviewers. Decisions are made by other editorial board members who do not have a conflict of interest with the author.

Revisions are compulsory for authors which are suggested by the reviwers. The revised version (by the authors) is then re-reviwed by the managing editor or by the same reviewers if needed. Based on review results and revisions, editors are authorized to accept or reject the manuscript. Articles may or may not be sent to reviewers after author revision, dependent on whether the reviewer requested to see the revised version and the wishes of the Academic editor. 

E-mail attachment as electronic proof will be sent to the corresponding author as a PDF file. The final version of the manuscripts will be considered the page proofs. No changes will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage except clerical or typographical errors. Authors will have electronic access to the full text (PDF) of the article and can download the PDF file from which they can print unlimited copies of their articles.
