2. A paper's success in publishing is determined by several factors. First, the editor/subeditor checks the paper for completeness, adherence to the journal's style, and compliance with institutional ethics. • The original research article is then circulated through the editorial board for an internal review of relevance, ethics, and methodology. • The board members may reject the manuscript if it is unsuitable for the journal's readership or has significant ethical or methodological flaws. After passing the internal review process, the manuscript is sent for an external review by peer reviewers.

3. Introduction Section Review Suggestions The introduction section of the research article shows promise, but there are some suggestions to enhance its impact. • Firstly, consider framing the research problem more explicitly and engagingly, outlining its relevance from the outset. • Secondly, provide a concise overview of the field's current state to contextualize the research objectives. Adding recent key references could support this. • Thirdly, ensure a clear and gradual buildup to the research gap, highlighting its significance in addressing existing limitations. • Lastly, streamline the articulation of qualitative and quantitative research questions to reflect their specific contribution. These suggestions aim to bolster the introduction's clarity, setting a strong foundation for the study and captivating readers' interest from the outset.

4. Some suggestions that a peer reviewer may provide for the introduction section of a manuscript include: 1.Providing a clear and concise background: The peer reviewer may suggest adding more context to the introduction to help readers understand the research question and its importance. For example, the reviewer may suggest providing a more detailed description of the problem the research aims to address. 2.Identifying the research gap: The reviewer may suggest that the author identify the literature gap and explain how their research will address it. For example, the reviewer may suggest that the author provide more context on why the research is needed and how it will contribute to the field.

5. 3.Clarifying the research question and objectives: The peer reviewer may suggest that the author provide a clearer and more concise research question and objectives directly related to the research gap identified in the literature. 4.Providing a clear outline: The reviewer may suggest that the author provide a clear and concise outline of the manuscript's structure, including what will be covered in each section.

7. EXAMPLE: • A peer reviewer may comment, such as, "The introduction provides a good overview of the research topic but could benefit from more detailed background information to help readers understand the study context. • Additionally, the research gap could be more clearly identified and linked to the research question and objectives. • Finally, the author may want to consider providing a clearer outline of the manuscript structure to help readers navigate the paper more easily." • Check out our sample Original research article examples to see how the original research article samples structured.

8. Recent concepts: • Some journals have begun utilizing a "postpublication" approach, in which the peer-reviewed and accepted article is uploaded on the internet before the paper's publication; readers may then leave comments on the document, which can be published alongside the reader's remarks. • The "light touch peer review" strategy, which focuses on the process, has become popular in many open-access journals. • Useful guidance on ethics of publication and peer review is available on the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) website (https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines-new/cope-ethical-guidelines-peer-reviewers), and authors, reviewers, and editors need to be acquainted with these.
