After the peer review process, if the Editorial Board decides to reject a manuscript, the author will be notified about the decision. But if the author thinks that it has been an unfair decision he/she has the freedom to make an appeal against the decision to the journal.
This appeal can be made within 30 days of the notification of the rejection and should be done by submitting an appeal letter to the Editor-in-Chief/Managing Editor, stating clearly the grounds on which the appeal is made. If the appeal is justified then the Editor-in-Chief/Managing Editor may send the manuscript for a fresh review or allow the author to rework on the manuscript. In either case the final decision to accept the manuscript still remains with the Editor-in-Chief/Managing Editor. The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of rejection of the manuscript.
