The submitted manuscripts to the “International Journal of Natural and Social Sciences” (IJNSS) are primarily checked by managing editor/ section editor whether a manuscript is prepared following author guidelines or not. At the same time, the relevance of the manuscript within the aims and scope of the journal is also evaluated by managing editor/ section editor before further processing and initial decision. If the manuscript is not well formatted, it will be immediately sent back to the corresponding author. Sometimes minimum error in the formatting by the author is considered.

We follow the double blind peer review policy.
