Double-blind peer review guidelines
IJRRS use double-blind peer review, the identities of both reviewers and authors are unknown each other throughout the review. To facilitate this, authors must ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in such a way that they do not reveal their identities to reviewers, either directly or indirectly.
Please therefore ensure that the following items are present in your submission and are provided as separate files:
The title page will remain separate from the manuscript throughout the peer review process and will not be sent to the reviewers. It should include:
Please remove any identifying information, such as authors' names or affiliations, from your manuscript before submission.
Along with removing names and affiliations under the title within the manuscript, other steps need to be taken to ensure the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review. The key points are:
Highlights make your article more visible to search engines. The more recognized terms that you use, the more likely your paper is to be featured during an online search. Highlights are a way of connecting your work with members of the research community. Highlights are not a short version of your abstract, they should not consist of a paraphrased version of your title, and they are not a shorted and cut description of your methods. Highlights offer an overview of your research. Highlights may consist of a brief summary of your results or mention the use of new technologies or research techniques.
Preparing and formatting
Files need to be in an editable format, using the extension .doc/.docx for Word files. If your manuscript is in LaTeX, please convert the file to Word format. In addition, please upload PDF format of them too.
Use spell-check and grammar-check functions to avoid errors.

Conflict of interest statement: The journal requires all authors to declare any competing or conflicts of interest in relation to their submitted manuscript in the interests of transparency.
