Policy for Peer Review
All research articles published in the Nepalese Journal of Insurance and Social Security undergo full peer review. Author and reviewer identities remain concealed throughout the review process, and all manuscripts are evaluated through an impartial editorial workflow.
The editorial office checks whether the manuscript package is properly blinded and complete, and the Editorial Board reviews the paper for suitability, relevance, and baseline quality before external review.
Peer reviewers are selected on the basis of subject expertise. Reviewers provide consent, assess the manuscript independently, and at least two qualified experts review each research article.
Editors decide whether to accept, reject, or request revisions based on reviewer recommendations and editorial judgment. Additional reviews may be sought whenever the editors consider them necessary.
Ethical Standards
NJISS follows transparent and fair editorial standards, including confidentiality, conflict-of-interest declarations, and independent peer review.
Authors are expected to present accurate, objective, and original work with enough detail and references for the research to be replicated and verified.
Copyright & Licensing
Manuscripts are accepted on condition of transfer of copyright. Once accepted, the manuscript may not be published elsewhere without the consent of the copyright holders.
Authors remain responsible for permissions on figures, tables, photographs, and any third-party material included in the submission.
Plagiarism Policy
All submissions must be entirely original, and any borrowed words, ideas, data, or visuals must be properly cited or quoted. Manuscripts involving plagiarism, fraudulent publication, duplicate submission, or other scholarly misconduct may be returned, corrected, or rejected.
"In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher and Editors-in-Chief will take appropriate corrective measures, including an erratum or full retraction where necessary."
