GSSR manages and evaluates all the research articles, papers and cases by "Double-Blind Peer Review" exclusively. GSSR uses double-blind review, which means that the reviewer, editor and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, editor and vice versa throughout the review process.

GSSR has a comprehensive process of evaluation as it follows double-blind peer review wherein after preliminary assessment (or Pre-Editorial Review) of an article by the Managing and Assistant Managing Editor(s), the same is reviewed by another internal Committee (known as an Editorial Review Committee) comprising the GSSR Editor, Associate Editor(s)and Assistant Editor(s). However, selected members of the Advisory Board of GSSR covering the subject area of the article are also consulted during the internal review process, and after recommendations of the Editorial Review Committee, the article goes through a cycle of final evaluation i.e. review by relevant National and International peer reviewers.
