Review & Publication Policy

Progressive Research Journal of Arts & Humanities (PRJAH)is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal with both print and online versions. PRJAH encourages high-quality submissions. In order to carry out our non-discrimination principles, we use a double-blind system of peer review. PRJAH covers the entire spectrum of research, including the following topics: Anthropology, Archaeology, Arts, Culture, Heritage, Ethics, Communication Studies, Economics, Gender, History, International Relations, Linguistics, Literature, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology. The journal is published in both print and online versions biannually (February and December).

Peer Review Process  

PRJAH has two stage review system: as soon as a manuscript is submitted, it passes through plagiarism software by the editorial team, followed by editorial review for the quality and suitability of the content of the submitted manuscript. Editorial board members submit their comments on a structured editorial review form. If the manuscript is approved at the editorial review, then it undergoes “DOUBLE BLIND PEER REVIEW” process by 2 subject specialists. The suggestions and objections of the reviewers after blinding are communicated to authors, and only when the reviewers are satisfied with the response of the authors, only then the manuscripts are accepted for publication. The reviewers of the manuscripts cannot be from the same institute, neither the members of the editorial or advisory board can act as the reviewers, even if they have expertise in the subject.

Submission Policy
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the authorities responsible where the work was carried out. However, we accept submissions that have previously appeared on pre-print servers (for example: arXiv, bioRxiv, Nature Precedings, Philica, Social Science Research Network, and Vixra); have previously been presented at conferences. Authors are responsible for updating the archived pre-print with the journal reference (including DOI) and a link to the published articles on the appropriate journal website upon publication.
