Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with "Uniform requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (Updated October 2007). (

The Editorial Process
|
 |
| |
The manuscripts will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they are being submitted to PVRI Review only and have not been published, simultaneously submitted or already accepted for publication elsewhere.
All manuscripts received will be duly acknowledged. The editors will review all the submitted manuscripts initially. Manuscripts, if found suitable for review, will be sent to two or more expert reviewers without revealing the identity of the contributors. Each manuscript will also be assigned to a member of the editorial team, who based on the comments from the reviewers will take a final decision on the manuscript. The contributors will be informed about the reviewers' comments and acceptance/rejection of manuscript.
Articles accepted would be copy-edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, which has to be returned within three days. .
