Review Policy:
At Tamilmanam International Research Journal of Tamil Studies, we adopt a robust open peer review policy to ensure the highest standards of academic excellence and integrity in the publication process. Upon submission, every manuscript will undergo a thorough evaluation by two qualified subject matter experts with significant expertise in the relevant field. These reviewers will assess the paper based on our journal’s rigorous criteria, which encompass the originality of the research, the clarity and coherence of the argument presented, the methodology employed, and the overall contribution to Tamil studies.
In instances where revisions are deemed necessary, the same reviewers will be tasked with evaluating the revised manuscript. This practice not only ensures consistency in the review process but also provides authors with constructive feedback that is targeted and relevant to the improvements needed. Our aim is to maintain a high quality of scholarship within our journal, and thus, the engaged reviewers are expected to uphold the integrity and objectivity in their assessment.
Furthermore, upon completing their review, it is essential for reviewers to declare any potential conflicts of interest that could influence their judgment or perception of the manuscript. This transparency is crucial in maintaining the credibility of the review process. Reviewers are also encouraged, where applicable, to suggest any significant works or studies that are pertinent to the manuscript but have not been cited by the author. This additional guidance can contribute to enriching the research and providing broader context.
Confidentiality throughout the review process is of utmost importance. All communications between the authors and the reviewers, as well as any discussions regarding the manuscript, will remain confidential to protect the integrity of the review and foster an open exchange of ideas. Reviewers are asked to refrain from discussing the manuscript with anyone outside the review process to ensure that the integrity of the research and the authors is safeguarded.
In summary, Tamilmanam International Research Journal of Tamil Studies is committed to maintaining a fair, objective, and confidential peer review process that upholds the highest standards in academic research within the field of Tamil studies. We believe that these practices will not only enhance the quality of the manuscripts we publish but also strengthen the scholarly community as a whole
