Each of the submissions judged as suitable for the conference is sent to three experts in the related area for double-blind peer review. All submitted articles will be checked for similarity and plagiarism using Turnitin software. The acceptable level of similarity is 25%. Manuscripts exceeding this level will be requested to revise or may be rejected. The decision of acceptance or rejection of papers is made by the editor-in-chief and associate editors after assessing the reviewers’ comments. All accepted papers must be presented at the ICBR conference and will be published in the conference proceedings.

Guideline for Reviewers

All articles submitted undergo a
double-blind peer review process conducted by three expert reviewers to ensure
academic and scientific quality. Peer reviewers are expected to adhere to the
following guidelines:

1. Expertise

– Reviewers should evaluate papers within
their area of expertise and scope.

– Any article outside the reviewer’s
expertise should be reported to the editor promptly.

2. Promptness

– Reviews should be completed within two
weeks of receiving the manuscript.

– If a reviewer is unable to meet the
deadline, they should notify the editor immediately.

3. Confidentiality

– Manuscripts received for review must be
treated as confidential documents.

– Information regarding the manuscripts
should not be discussed with others without the editor’s approval.

– Reviewers must avoid using any data or
information from the manuscripts for personal advantage.

4. Standards of Objectivity

– Reviews should be conducted objectively,
without personal criticism of the author.

– Comments should be clearly expressed and
supported by data or arguments.

5. Competing Interests

– Reviewers must disclose any potential
conflicts of interest.

– If a conflict of interest arises while
reviewing a manuscript, the reviewer should notify the editor.

6. Publication Misconduct

– Reviewers should inform the editor if
they suspect research or publication misconduct.

– The committee, consisting of the
Director-BRU, Editor-in-Chief, and Secretary of BRU, is responsible for
investigating such claims.
