Aims & Objectives
The journal pursues the following defined objectives, which guide editorial decisions, reviewer selection, and publication policy.
Editorial Workflow
All submissions follow a defined editorial workflow. Authors are notified at each significant stage.
Initial Manuscript Screening
Review for scope, documentation completeness, formatting, and originality check before peer assignment.
Assignment to Reviewers
Screened manuscripts are assigned to qualified domain reviewers. Author identities are not disclosed (double-blind).
Peer Review Evaluation
Evaluation on originality, methodology, clarity, and contribution. Reviewer comments are provided to authors.
Author Revisions
Where revisions are required, authors submit an amended manuscript with a point-by-point response to reviewer comments.
Final Editorial Decision
Editor communicates a final decision (Accept / Revise / Reject) with rationale based on reviewer reports.
Publication
Accepted manuscripts are typeset and published in the next monthly issue with immediate open access availability.
Editorial Integrity
IJDACR maintains strict standards for reviewer qualification and conduct to uphold the integrity of the peer review process.
Reviewer Qualification
Reviewers are selected on the basis of demonstrated expertise in the manuscript's subject area, verified through publication record and institutional affiliation.
Anonymity Protocol
Double-blind review is enforced throughout the evaluation. Neither authors nor reviewers are aware of each other's identity.
Impartiality Requirement
Reviewers are required to declare any conflicts of interest and must recuse themselves if an objective evaluation cannot be guaranteed.
Structured Feedback
Review reports must address scope, originality, methodology, and presentation. All manuscripts receive written feedback regardless of outcome.
Publication Ethics
IJDACR is committed to ethical publishing practices that protect the integrity of the scholarly record. The following standards apply to all authors, reviewers, and editors.
Originality and Concurrent Submission
All submissions must represent original, unpublished research not under simultaneous consideration at another journal.
Authorship Accountability
All listed authors must have made a substantive intellectual contribution. Gift, ghost, and coercive authorship are prohibited.
Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism
Manuscripts are screened for textual similarity. Unattributed content or excessive self-citation of unpublished work is grounds for immediate rejection.
Data Integrity
Authors are expected to accurately represent research data and methodology. Raw data must be preserved and made available on editorial request.
Conflict of Interest
All parties must declare any financial, professional, or personal relationships that could influence the research or its assessment.
Retraction and Correction
