Where Academic Integrity Meets Global Accessibility.
Peer review is a cornerstone of the scholarly publication process. It ensures that manuscripts meet the standards of academic excellence, originality, and ethical research practices. At Prithvi Foundation Academic Research Journal (PFARJ), we operate a double-blind peer review system, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the review process.
