You need to communicate an appropriate matter concerning a manuscript already submitted to TORGJ.

What to Include in Your Email

Manuscript Enquiry
For an appropriate manuscript-related enquiry, contact the Editorial Office using a clear subject line and include the manuscript ID where available.
[email protected] Email Editorial Office →Editorial Decisions Are Part of the Journal’s Independent Editorial Process
Contacting the Editorial Office does not guarantee acceptance, expedited review, accelerated publication, alteration of reviewer recommendations, or a particular editorial outcome. Questions about a manuscript may be addressed where appropriate, but editorial and peer-review decisions remain governed by the journal’s applicable policies and editorial procedures.
Publication Ethics, Corrections & Post-Publication Concerns
TORGJ welcomes responsible communication about credible concerns affecting submitted or published work. Concerns may involve research integrity, authorship, ethical conduct, accuracy of the published record, or another matter requiring editorial assessment.
Raise Concerns Clearly, Specifically & in Good Faith
A publication-integrity concern should identify the relevant manuscript or published article and explain the issue with enough specificity for the journal to understand what is being alleged or questioned. Where available, supporting evidence should be included or described without unnecessarily disclosing confidential, sensitive, or identifiable information.
Matters That May Be Raised With TORGJ
The following examples are illustrative and do not limit the types of legitimate integrity concerns that may require editorial review.
Disputed authorship, omitted contributors, inappropriate authorship, or undisclosed changes in author attribution.
Unattributed copying, inappropriate reuse, duplicate text, or other originality concerns.
Potential redundant, overlapping, or undisclosed prior publication of substantially the same work.
Concerns about fabrication, falsification, inconsistent data, figures, analyses, or reporting.
Questions regarding ethical approval, consent, participant protection, or responsible study conduct.
Potentially relevant financial, professional, academic, or institutional interests that may not have been disclosed.
Serious concerns regarding review integrity, confidentiality, conflicts, manipulation, or inappropriate reviewer conduct.
Material errors affecting text, data, figures, authorship, interpretation, or the scholarly record.
Help the Journal Understand the Concern
Where possible, include the manuscript or article title, manuscript ID or DOI, the specific section or issue involved, a concise explanation of the concern, and relevant evidence or references. Avoid broad allegations without enough detail for meaningful editorial assessment.
Do Not Send Unnecessary Sensitive Information
Concerns involving patients, research participants, peer-review records, institutional investigations, personal data, or other confidential material should be communicated carefully. Send only information reasonably necessary to identify the concern and follow further secure-handling instructions where provided.
What May Happen After a Concern Is Received
The precise process will depend on the nature, seriousness, available evidence, and status of the work.
The journal considers whether the concern falls within its editorial remit and whether sufficient information is available.
Authors, reviewers, institutions, or other relevant parties may be asked for information where appropriate.
The matter may be reviewed against applicable journal policies, evidence, and publication standards.
Outcomes may include no action, clarification, correction, further investigation, or another proportionate editorial response.
Make the Nature of the Concern Clear
Appropriate subject lines can help distinguish integrity matters from ordinary manuscript correspondence. Examples include: TORGJ Publication Ethics Concern, TORGJ Correction Request, or TORGJ Post-Publication Concern.
Report a Publication Concern
Send a concise description of the issue and sufficient identifying information for the journal to assess the matter.
[email protected] Contact Editorial Office →Good-Faith Concerns Are Welcome — Allegations Should Be Responsible
TORGJ takes credible publication concerns seriously, but correspondence should remain factual, professional, and proportionate. Knowingly false, malicious, threatening, abusive, or deliberately misleading allegations are not appropriate. Equally, a genuine concern should not be dismissed merely because it raises difficult questions about previously published or accepted work.
Reviewer & Editorial Team Enquiries
Peer reviewers and editorial contributors are central to the scholarly work of The Operating Room Global Journal. Contact the Editorial Office where clarification or support is required in relation to an active review, reviewer responsibility, editorial service, or appropriate participation in the journal.
Contact Us Early if You Cannot Complete an Assigned Review
Reviewers should contact the Editorial Office where they are unable to accept or complete an assignment, require clarification, identify a relevant conflict of interest, need an appropriate extension, encounter a technical issue, or become aware of a matter that could affect the integrity or confidentiality of the review.
Common Reviewer Enquiries
Review-related correspondence may include the following.
Questions about the manuscript, review request, scope of assessment, or review expectations.
You are unavailable, lack suitable expertise, or cannot complete the assignment responsibly.
Additional time is genuinely required to complete a thorough and responsible review.
A personal, professional, financial, institutional, or academic relationship may affect independent assessment.
A genuine technical problem prevents access to the manuscript, files, or review process.
You identify a possible ethics, originality, data, or publication-integrity issue during review.
Clarification is required concerning confidential manuscript or review material.
Appropriate questions concerning confirmation or recognition of completed peer-review service.
When in Doubt, Disclose the Potential Conflict
Reviewers should notify TORGJ if a relationship or circumstance could reasonably affect—or appear to affect—their independent judgement. The journal can determine whether the reviewer should proceed, whether safeguards are sufficient, or whether reassignment is more appropriate.
Manuscripts Under Review Are Not Public Documents
Reviewer enquiries should preserve the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and peer-review material. Manuscripts, unpublished data, author information, review reports, or editorial communications should not be shared outside the authorised review process without appropriate permission.
Editorial Team & Journal Service Enquiries
Professionals interested in contributing to TORGJ may contact the journal where a relevant opportunity exists or where the journal has invited expressions of interest.
Subject or methodological expertise relevant to manuscripts considered by TORGJ.
Appropriate enquiries concerning available editorial appointments or formal recruitment.
Specialist scholarly expertise relevant to defined journal disciplines or sections.
Methodological or statistical expertise relevant to manuscript evaluation.
Appropriate journal-production, publishing, or technical enquiries where relevant opportunities exist.
Other legitimate matters concerning editorial participation or journal service.
Reviewer or Editorial Enquiries Should Be Easy to Identify
For an active peer review, include the manuscript title or ID and explain the issue briefly. For editorial-service enquiries, identify your professional role, relevant expertise, institutional affiliation where appropriate, and the specific reason for contacting TORGJ.
Reviewer & Editorial Enquiries
Use a clear subject line such as TORGJ Reviewer Enquiry or TORGJ Editorial Team Enquiry.
[email protected] Contact Editorial Office →Editorial or Reviewer Service Does Not Create Preferential Publication Rights
Serving as a reviewer, editor, adviser, or other journal contributor does not guarantee publication of an individual’s own scholarly work. Where a journal-affiliated person submits a manuscript, relevant conflicts should be managed and the work should remain subject to applicable editorial, peer-review, and research-integrity standards.
Advertising, Partnerships & Institutional Enquiries
TORGJ welcomes appropriate enquiries from academic institutions, professional organisations, healthcare bodies, research groups, educational organisations, and responsible commercial partners. External engagement must remain consistent with the journal’s scholarly mission, transparency standards, and editorial independence.
Proposals Should Have a Clear Scholarly or Professional Purpose
Institutional, academic, promotional, or commercial proposals should explain what is being proposed, why the activity is relevant to TORGJ, the organisations involved, the expected contribution of each party, and any financial, sponsorship, promotional, or other material relationship associated with the proposal.

[email protected] Contact TORGJ →TORGJ Does Not Exchange Editorial Favour for Partnership, Sponsorship or Advertising
Commercial or institutional engagement is separate from manuscript assessment. Advertisers, sponsors, collaborators, partner institutions, TORG or TORGCERI affiliates, and their personnel remain subject to the same applicable editorial, peer-review, authorship, ethics, conflict-of-interest, and research-integrity requirements as other authors.
