Looking for to the point answering of above-mentioned question. (Before the acceptance of the manuscript should we provide source code or simulation code of the proposed work?)
Please let me know if the following references/sites are useful to you.
You should also check to see if the journal you are submitting to has a policy on source codes.

Well, in my opinion before any proper acceptance of the manuscript and a signing of the contract of Intellectual Property Right (or Copyright Transfer) I don't think that it is wise to ASK or SUBMIT the sourcecode of your algorithm. Yeah, you might submit the compiled executable code to evaluate the software not the ".C" or ".CPP" or for that matter the MATLAB or Python script. Are yeh to sarasar chori hai. Kay guarantee hai ki tumhara sourcecode koi aur istemal karke use apana keh de?
I hope I am trying to bring some light on this matter.
I pay sincere thanks for your advice. As I asked this question on RG just because of the situation which I have already faced during the review process of one of my manuscript. But thanks to the other anonymous reviewers and the Editor. By the way thanks again to you to suggest me right way.
