invited referee who feels unqualified to review the research presented in a
manuscript or knows that its timely review will be impossible should
immediately notify the Editor so that alternative reviewers can be organized.
Confidentiality
Any
manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They
must not be shown to or discussed with others unless authorized by the
Editor-in- Chief. Manuscripts are given for review with false number.
Standards of objectivity
Reviews
should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is
unacceptable. Referees should express their views clearly with appropriate
supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of sources
Reviewers
should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors.
Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously
reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also
call to the Editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between
the manuscript under consideration and any other published data of which they
have personal knowledge.

collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors,
companies, or institutions connected to the submission.
Duties of authors
Reporting standards
Authors
reporting results of original research should present an accurate account of
the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.
Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. A paper
should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate
the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical
behavior and are unacceptable.
Originality and Plagiarism

those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co- authors.
Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of
the research project, they should be named in an Acknowledgement section. The
corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co- authors (according
to the above definition) and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the
author list of the manuscript, and that all co-authors have seen and approved
the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for
publication.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Fundamental
errors in published works When an author discovers a significant error or
inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to
promptly notify the journal’s Editor or publisher and cooperate with them to
either retract the paper or to publish an appropriate erratum.
Publisher’s confirmation

cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication or
plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the Editors-in-Chief,
will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and to amend the
article in question. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum or, in
the most severe cases, the complete retraction of the affected work.

Statement of Peer Review Policies
Peer review guidelines
This
journal follows a double-blind peer review model. In line with the aims and
mission of the journal, papers are normally peer reviewed by two independent
academic experts, and additional or supplementary reviews by experts from the
policy community may be sought to ensure high-quality, impactful publications
that are both academically rigorous and policy relevant.
Reviewers
are expected to observe the Ethics Policy of ishal paithrkam, including the
documents referenced in it, and are encouraged to read and observe the ishal
paithrkam ethical guidelines for peer reviewers. Those who oversee the peer
review process are expected to recognize warning signs of misconduct and to
report any concerns to the editorial office.
The
criteria against which manuscripts are assessed include (i) fit with the aims
and scope of the journal; (ii) adherence to generally accepted academic
standards in terms of originality, significance and rigour, as well as to the
criteria of high-quality research and analysis set out in Kerala Government
publication policies, and specifically Mappila Kala Academy's Publication
Policy; and (iii) policy relevance and potential to contribute to policy
debates and evidence-based policymaking.
Review process
Manuscripts
are initially screened by the Managing Editor for completeness and adherence to
the formal aspects of the Guidelines for Contributors. Manuscripts may be
returned to authors to remedy issues before progression to the Editors’ desk.
The
Editor-in-Chief and/or Deputy Editors assess submissions and decide whether
they are suitable for progression to the next stage of the review process on
the basis of fit to the scope of journal, publishing standards of the journal
and interest for the policy community.
Papers
that pass the Editors’ desk will be assigned an Associate Editor with the
requisite subject area expertise (depending on the particular subject area of
the manuscript, this role may also be assumed by one of the Editors). The
Associate Editor assesses the manuscript and decides if it warrants progression
to the peer review stage and if so, selects reviewers and oversees the
subsequent review process.
Papers
that pass the Associate Editor stage will be reviewed typically by two peer
reviewers who are experts in the field(s), with the selection of peer reviewers
also taking into account the research methods and geographical focus of the
paper. Supplementary reviews or policy guidance may be sought from relevant
experts of the policy community (facilitated by the Editors).
Based
on the reviewer reports, Associate Editors will recommend to the Editors a
decision on the manuscript. The final decision rests with the Editors.
Special cases
Editors
are excluded from publication decisions when they are authors or have
contributed to a manuscript. In such cases the review process and publication
decision will be overseen by an alternate Editor.
The
review process for ishal paithrkam Insights articles adheres to the same rigour
as for externally submitted papers, but it is adjusted to reflect the nature of
ishal paithrkam Insights (see Editorial Statement). The review is overseen by
the Editors. Articles are typically assessed in the first instance by a member
of the editorial team and then peer reviewed by experts with requisite subject
and technical expertise drawn from ishal paithrkam, other international
organizations and academia.
Communications with authors
At
each stage of the review process, authors will be provided reasoned and
constructive feedback about the decisions on their manuscript.
Conflicts of interest
Assigned
Associate Editors and reviewers should inform the Editors of any potential
conflicts with the assigned manuscript, for instance, resulting from
competitive, collaborative or other relationships or connections with any of
the authors, companies or institutions. In such instances they should inform
the editors and recuse themselves from the review process.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts
received for review must be treated as confidential documents. The confidentiality
of participants in the review process is protected.
Appeals
Appeals
against editorial decisions require a formal appeal letter with point-by-point
evidence supporting the appeal. In line with generally accepted standards,
appeals are considered only on the basis of (i) reviewers’ potential technical
errors in their assessment of the manuscript, (ii) new information or data that
has come to light since submission of manuscript and (iii) evidence as to
potential conflicts ,of interest of reviewers. Appeals against an editorial
decision must be submitted within 14 days of the decision notice.
One
appeal per manuscript is allowed. The Editor-in-Chief will consult the
editorial team and where appropriate seek further advice from members of the
Editorial Advisory Board. The decision of the Editor-in-Chief is final.
Appeal
letters should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief and should be submitted to
the editorial office (editor@mappilakalaacademy.org).
