Peer-review policy
Peer-review is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published. Independent researchers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether the manuscript should be published in ANUJAT. You can read more about the peer-review process here.
ANUJAT operates a double-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers do not know the names or affiliations of the authors and the reviewer reports provided to the authors are anonymous.
The benefit of double-blind peer review is that it allows reviewers to judge the manuscript based on content alone, and they are not unconsciously biased by knowledge of who the authors are. Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is academically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for
publication. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.
Editorial policies
All manuscripts submitted to ANUJAT should adhere to ANUJAT’s editorial policies. Once your article is accepted, it will be processed by production and published shortly afterwards. In some cases, articles may be held for a short period of time prior to publication. If you have any concerns or particular requirements, please contact the Assistant Editor on [email protected]
Citing articles in ANUJAT
