Peer-Review Process

All research articles, and most other article types, published in Bangladesh J. Pain undergo thorough peer review. This usually involves review by two independent peer reviewers. All submissions to the journal are assessed by Editor-in-chief, who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. Where an Editor is on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to assume responsibility for overseeing peer review. Submissions felt to be suitable for consideration will be sent for peer review by appropriate independent experts identified by the Handling Editor. Editors will make a decision based on the reviewers’ reports and authors are sent these reports along with the editorial decision on their manuscript. Authors should note that even in light of one positive report, concerns raised by another reviewer may fundamentally undermine the study and result in the manuscript being rejected.

Bangladesh J. Pain adopted “Single-blind” peer review process where author(s) would be unaware about the name, degree, affiliation or details of the reviewer.
