Peer Review Process

The manuscripts submitted to Defence Science Journal will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they are being submitted to one journal at a time and have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. The Editors review all submitted manuscripts initially. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific flaws, or absence of importance of message are rejected. The Journal will not return the unaccepted manuscripts. Manuscripts are sent to two experts/reviewers without revealing the identity of the reviewers to the contributors. Within a period of eight to ten weeks, the contributors will be informed about the reviewers'  comments and acceptance/rejection of manuscript. Papers accepted would be edited for uniformity, consistency, style, grammar, punctuation, and format.
