Journal Instruction
Instructions for reviewers

Nepal Orthopaedic Association Journal (NOAJ) recognizes its reviewers as the benchmark for assessing the quality and the importance of the manuscript submitted. The expert reviewer evaluation is of great value and characterizes the manuscript we publish.

Blind peer review

NOAJ uses a double-anonymized (double-blind) peer review system in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process. All manuscripts will be sent to 2-4 peer reviewers. However, it remains the discretion of the editorial board, that it may be send to more reviewers upon conditions that manuscript requires more evaluations.

Instructions for reviewers

NOAJ will email peer reviewers to invite them to review a manuscript. The email will generally include an abstract of the manuscript and ask you to accept or reject the review invitation. The reviewer can also have a detail view of the entire manuscript after acceptance of the review process.
