Peer Review Policy
NMK
Research Publication follows a structured and transparent peer review system to
ensure the academic quality, originality, and integrity of all submitted
manuscripts. The purpose of the peer review process is to evaluate the
scholarly merit of the work and to ensure that it meets the standards of
academic publishing.
The review
process may vary depending on the type of submission, including thesis-based
books, academic books, research books, and research book chapters.
Review
Approach
NMK
Research Publication adopts a flexible review approach based on the
nature of the manuscript. The review process may include:
- Editorial review
- Internal academic assessment
- External expert review (where
applicable)
The level
of review depends on the type and complexity of the submitted work.
Peer
Review for Thesis-Based Books and Academic Books
For PhD
thesis-based books and academic books, NMK Research Publication generally
follows an editorial and academic verification process.
Since such
works are typically already evaluated by universities or academic institutions,
the publication focuses on:
- Verification of academic
structure and completeness
- Checking formatting and
manuscript organization
- Reviewing plagiarism or
similarity level
- Ensuring proper citation of
references, tables, and figures
- Confirming compliance with
publication policies
In most
cases, these manuscripts undergo editorial review rather than full external
peer review, unless additional evaluation is required.
Peer
Review for Research Books
For research
books presenting original studies, a more detailed evaluation process may
be followed.
The
manuscript may be reviewed for:
- Clarity of research objectives
- Relevance and contribution to
the subject area

methodology
- Accuracy of data and analysis
- Proper use of references and
citations
Depending
on the manuscript, internal or external subject experts may be involved
in the review process.

review may include:

topic and academic relevance
- Review of methodology and
argument structure
- Verification of references and
citations
- Assessment of clarity and
academic quality
Editors or
subject experts may review each chapter before inclusion in the publication.

disclosed to unauthorized parties.
Review
Outcome
Based on
the review process, the manuscript may be:
- Accepted for publication
- Accepted with minor or major
revisions
- Returned to the author for
correction

academic or ethical standards
Authors
may be required to revise their manuscripts based on review feedback before
