Peer review is the process to evaluate the quality of scientific literature submitted by the authors. The process involves the experts in the same field for better assessment of the work done. Peer review process plays a key role in open access publication model and it is essential to maintain the publication standards of the journal and to provide best output to the scientific community.
The Biomedica abides by the peer review standards in order to provide best service to the community with the help of eminent editorial board members and world class peer reviewers. For the best practice, The Biomedica follows “Single Blinded Peer Review Process”. The peer review process by The Biomedica involves the following steps:
1. Initial Review & Plagiarism

If any discrepancies are found, the article will be reverted to the author and asked for the required changes.
Editorial Review Process
Once the editorial office satisfies with the initial review of the manuscript, the article will be assigned to an eminent editorial board member by the editor to perform a peer review process. The assigned editorial board member/handling editor should appoint external peers for the review process to get a minimum of two comments to take an initial decision on the manuscript.
Reviewer Recommendations & Revisions
The reviewer may recommend any one of the following based on the analysis of the manuscript:
• Accept without any changes
• Accept with minor changes
• Accept with major changes (the article may be sent for second round of review process)
• Cannot be accepted/rejected
If the recommendation advised to make any changes in the article, then the author will be asked for correcting the article as per the reviewer guidelines and send a revised version of the manuscript to the editorial office for further

This will impact his reading if this does not get fixed because he will always put a word to fill in the spot. This will also change the meaning of the sentence, they will have misinformation on what is going on in the story because the miscue altered the entire sentence.
IRBs review all aspects of the researchers' project: the study design, the recruitment process, the participant population, the informed consent document and process, the risk/benefit ratio, privacy and confidentiality, data storage and protection, and safeguards for vulnerable participants (University of St. Francis, n.d.). In this way, participants' rights are protected because the effort is made even before the research begins. The review process ensures that participants are chosen fairly and adequately and the information collected during research is safeguarded through collection, use, and storage. Research using human participants is such an important part of medicine that it is imperative it is performed in a way that its intrigue is not compromised. The Institutional Review Board Process Applying for exempt research study approval from the IRB at the University of St. Francis involves submitting a copy of the work, an application, and a statement explaining why the researcher believes the study would be exempt from expedited or full-level IRB review approval.
In the final step of evaluating conclusions, the research community makes an active conversation about what they have discovered, and they write down details about the study. Then, they publish their work in various types of journal in order to let others read and learn from them. In the Katrevich et al. (2014) study, the conclusions were published in North American Journal of Psychology. In this way, scientists can figure out a new idea to be tested or one that will change the thinking about some topics (King, 2016).

Along with these key steps, evidence-based practice varies in hierarchies, dependent upon its expertise and experience value, practical value, and other expert factors; this allows an analyse of how reliable the source and information is. Polit & Beck (2008), use seven levels to grade sources of information; ranging from 1 being the strongest and 7 being the weakest. Step 1 – Meta analyses and systematic reviews, using a multitude of research sources and performing statistical analysis; step 2 – Trials (controlled and randomised) with a definitive answer, used to compare one set of results with another to determine a definitive answer; step 3 – Trials (controlled and randomised) with a non-definitive answer, used to compare one set of results with another to determine a possible answer; step 4 – Cohort studies/follow up studies, aimed at larger groups of people, in relation to follow up questions around a specific area; step 5 – Case- controlled, analysing past data, looking at causes of disease, and/or cause and effect; step 6 – Cross-sectional studies, analysing data within a set period, looking at cause and effect; step 7 – Case reports, analysing individuals
