Although it's crucial to recognize that the editor's final decision is always the result of broad discretion in choosing the best suited article for the journal, sincere appeals by the author(s) to editorial decisions are encouraged. Therefore, only appeals where the author(s) present compelling arguments or fresh information that can relieve the worries of the editors and reviewers will be taken into account. For instance, the formal appeal can be started with a full statement of any potential errors the author(s) believe occurred if they feel there was an error in reviewing the article. The editor will take into account the real appeal instances, such as requests for additional information from the author(s), changes to the manuscript or data, and appeals about conflicts.

Make sure you have adequate proof before appealing; otherwise, it won't alter the editors' ultimate judgment. Appeals must be rational arguments, not emotional ones.

• The editors will mediate all discussions between authors and peer reviewers throughout the review process after receiving a valid appeal. If the editor determines that more peer reviewers are required, they can be added.
• The review procedure may take longer than usual for results that must be reviewed quickly; the procedure cannot be speed up. If, as a result of the extended review period, the author decides to withdraw their manuscript, it is crucial to let the editors know and gain their approval before resubmitting it to another magazine.
• The Editor's decision will serve as the "Final decision" following consideration of the appeal.

The Pakistan Journal of Professional Psychology: Research and Practice will acknowledge the receipt of any appeals or complaints and, if appropriate, conduct an investigation using the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics. 

The author may send a letter of complaint or appeal to the editorial office at Email.
