Review Process
Peer Review Process
The Lighthouse Journal of Social Sciences has a rigorous peer review system. It ensures the quality of the research papers. The peer reviewer is responsible for critically reading and evaluating a manuscript in their specialized field, and then providing feedback to authors about their submission. All papers undergo a Blind Peer Review process, which ensures that the reviewers and authors both remain anonymous to each other throughout the process. It enables authors to improve their manuscripts and help editors in making decision on manuscripts. The Chief Editor, based on the reviewers' recommendations, makes one of the following decisions:
- Accepted in its current state
- Accepted after Minor revisions
- Accepted after Major revision
- Reject
Authors who receive suggestions for major or minor changes are required to follow the advice of the reviewers and editors. All re-submissions must include a clear account of how the authors responded to the reviewers' remarks and incorporated the same into the revised paper.
