Peer Review Policy of the Journal

Journal of Pharmaceutical Technology, Research and Management (JPTRM) follows a rigorous double-blind peer review process, with a minimum of two independent reviews for every original article. All submissions are evaluated by subject-matter experts to ensure scientific quality, relevance, and integrity.

Reviewers are selected by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors from a curated pool of invited and consented experts. These reviewers are recognized national and international authorities in their respective fields and are registered in the journal’s peer review and submission system. When necessary, the editorial team may also draw on their professional networks to identify suitable reviewers. In the event of a split decision between the initial two reviewers, a third independent review is sought to ensure a balanced and fair assessment.

Associate Editors support the Editor-in-Chief by managing assigned manuscripts independently and impartially, ensuring there is no conflict of interest. They play a key role in upholding the journal’s ethical standards, maintaining scientific rigor, and ensuring the timely publication of high-quality content.
