Reviewer Guidelines
The authenticity of scientific literature depends on effective peer review. A published paper reflects not only on the authors of that paper but also on the group of readers. Without the judgment of knowledgeable peers as a standard for evaluating the quality of science, it would be impossible to adjudge content credibility.
Reviewers play a significant role in publishing. Peer Review system is an important process for quality of research, scientific validation and publication. IJARRP welcomes scientists, researchers, academicians and scholars interested in serving as volunteer reviewer. Any researcher with Ph.D. as a minimum educational qualification is eligible to be a reviewer. A reviewer has to review the articles received from the editorial office or the editor within the specifically mentioned timeline.
