Peer Review Process

Peer review is the primary quality control mechanism for any academic journal. In this process, experts in the relevant field evaluate scholarly work from multiple perspectives, including the quality of writing, the accuracy of technical content, the soundness of documentation, and the overall contribution and impact on the discipline.

Reviewers play a pivotal role in scholarly publishing. Their critical assessments and constructive feedback help ensure the quality, credibility, and integrity of the research under consideration. The peer review process validates research findings and establishes a recognized standard of excellence within academic communities.

Ansh Journal of History employs a peer review process to maintain rigorous academic standards and to ensure the validity and originality of the manuscripts submitted for publication. The journal generally follows a single-blind peer review system, wherein the reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities, but the authors do not know the reviewers’ identities. This process supports independent and objective editorial decision-making.

Based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, manuscripts may be returned to authors for revision. Once the revised manuscript is received by the Assistant Editor, it is reassigned to the reviewer(s) for further evaluation and approval of the revisions. The final decision to publish rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

Upon an author’s request—and with the prior approval of the Editor-in-Chief—Ansh Journal of History may conduct a double-blind peer review, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other.
