Review guidelines

When a manuscript is submitted for publication, it undergoes a double-blind peer review process.

The decision on whether to publish the manuscript relies on the evaluations provided by the editors. If any of the editors reject the manuscript, it will be rejected for further editorial review. On the other hand, if the manuscript passes the editors’ assessments, it will proceed to the Final Review Process conducted by the Editorial Board.

During the Final Editorial Review Process, if the manuscript is approved, it will then be forwarded for the Peer Review Process. However, if the manuscript is rejected at the Final Editorial Review stage, it will not proceed to the Peer Review.

Following the completion of the Peer Review, if the reviewer accepts the manuscript, it will be eligible for publication. In the event that the Board suggests alterations or changes, the author(s) will be informed via the same email thread. The article will only be published in the journal after the necessary and suggested changes have been implemented.

NOTE- The author will bear full responsibility for their content, and Lexera Publication will not be liable. Hence, it is advised to refrain from including any abusive or contentious material in the writing.
