Peer Review Process

Editors request referees to advice on the scientific merit as well as the likely appeal since, the paper will have for broad natural products, pharmacognosy researcher’s readership. Editors usually give reviewers 21 days to complete their review process. Although editors always hope for a quick turnaround, this is not always possible. However, editors will be in contact with the referees once paper is sent to them, with weekly reminders of their due date. Once all the reviews are in-house, the Editor handling the manuscript will most likely make a decision within a day or two. The editor will then contact the corresponding author with the decision.
