Author Appeals

A fair and transparent process for authors to appeal editorial decisions at GRII.

Author Appeals

Authors have the right to appeal editorial decisions if they believe that their manuscript was evaluated unfairly or that the decision-making process did not comply with the journal's policies.

Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Editor-in-Chief within a specified period following notification of the decision. The appeal should include a clear explanation and, if applicable, supporting evidence.

The Editor-in-Chief will review the case in consultation with members of the editorial board and, where necessary, independent experts who were not involved in the original review. The outcome of the appeal will be communicated to the author with a reasoned explanation.

The journal's appeal process is designed to maintain fairness, integrity, and accountability, ensuring that all authors receive equitable treatment.
