Abstract
It is said peer learning is a very effective tool in the process of sharing & knowledge building. In this context, the current chapter focuses on the peer review process where the roles of the three stakeholders are seen. These three stakeholders are the authors, editors & the reviewers. As an author the lead author has published more than 100 articles, 5 books, 5 book chapters till the end of 2023, the chapter encompasses all the modalities that an author should look into the process of peer review.
The feedbacks that the lead author has received as an author from the editors have been the backbone of the chapter regarding the role of editors in peer review. Similarly, the role that the lead author has demonstrated as a reviewer since 2018 have become the base regarding the exploration & description of the role of reviewers in the peer review process.
Instead of writing a rhetoric chapter just like any & only content focus chapter regarding peer review process, the chapter is a complete reflection of the processes that the lead author of the chapter has gone through. However, some theoretical concepts have been captured as well to augment the essence of the current chapter. In short, it is a amalgamation of the reflections & experiences in the art & craft of writing scientific papers.
The chapter primarily bases upon the art & craft of writing papers in the domain of social science while touching upon medical writings.
