Complaints and Appeals

The author may appeal the decision of the peer review or the publication process; the editorial board will take prompt action on every complaint. Our policy is to ensure that complaints are dealt with fairly a prompt response. The main complaints are:

1. Complaint about the rejection decision (Desk rejection or Reviewer rejection). The BJBABS Editor-in-Chief's decision always depends upon more than two reviewers, and if there is a need, the review may be sent to a second round of review. The complainant will be given appropriate feedback.

2. Complaint about the time taken to review. The Editor-in-Chief will investigate the case. The complainant will be given appropriate feedback. Feedback is provided to improve processes and procedures.

3. Complaint about publication ethics The Editor-in-Chief follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics. The Editor-in-Chief decides the appropriate action and provides feedback to the complainant.

The complaints of the authors could be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief by Email:
