All papers are subjected to a blind peer review process. Manuscripts are invited from academicians, research students,and scientists for publication consideration. Papers are accepted for editorial consideration through email grpindia.journals@gmail.com with the understanding that they have not been published, submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Papers accepted for publication may not be published elsewhere in the same form, either in the language of the paper or any other language, without the consent of the Editorial Board.
