Reviewer Guidelines

AJSE uses a double-blind peer review option which ensures that authors remain anonymous to the reviewers throughout the peer-review process and vice versa. 

Received articles are sent to three independent reviewers (usually from different locations). 

There are four categories of recommendations from assessors:

  • Publishable  without amendment
  • Publishable with minor amendment
  • Publishable with major amendment
  • Not publishable 

Depending on the category recommended, an article may be sent out twice for assessment (i.e. when the recommendations from the two reviewers are conflicting).

Reviewed articles are returned to the Secretary AJSE. An honorarium is given to each reviewer for the reviewed article.

The reviewed articles are sent back to the corresponding author to effect corrections as may be recommended by the reviewers.

The revised document is vetted to ensure that the recommendations of the reviewers are effected.

Articles are formatted in line with the standard of the Journal and made camera ready.
