The research is evaluated by an external review committee nominated by the Editor-in-Chief. The committee is composed of two scholars with adequate relative experience in the respective discipline.
   • The external review committee evaluates the validity of the research for publishing based on the evaluation form sent to the reviewers with the research. The reviewers shall write a detailed report on the research to determine its validity.

1. Reviewers' acceptance of the research without any modifications

The Journal's Executive Committee sends the final acceptance letter to the researcher signed by the Editor-in-Chief or his designated authority. Then, the publishing process is completed.

2. Reviewers' acceptance of the research with some modifications

The Journal's Executive Committee sends the modifications to the researcher to make and upload, one week from the date of sending to him/her, on the journal's website https://ijppe.journals.ekb.eg/journal/process?lang=en. If all modifications are covered, the Editor-in-Chief sends the final letter of acceptance to the researcher. Then, the publishing process is completed.

If modifications are not made, the researcher is given a final extra one (1) week time extension, otherwise, the research will be rejected.

3. One reviewer accepts and the second rejects the research
   In this case, the Editor-in-Chief resolves its final acceptance or rejection. In both cases, the Editor-in-Chief notifies the researcher accordingly.
4. Reviewers' rejection of the research
   In this case, an apology letter is sent to the researcher stating the rejection of publishing.
