Peer Review Process
Society: Journal of Community and Service employs a closed double-blind peer review process to ensure the integrity and quality of published research. In this process:
-
Anonymity: Both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process. Authors will not know the identities of their reviewers, and reviewers will not know the identities of the authors.
-
Selection of Reviewers: The editorial team selects qualified reviewers based on their expertise in the relevant field. Reviewers are expected to provide constructive feedback and a fair evaluation of the manuscript.
-
Review Criteria: Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, significance, methodology, clarity, and contribution to the field of community and service.
-
Decision Making: After receiving feedback from the reviewers, the editorial team makes a decision regarding the manuscript, which may include acceptance, minor or major revisions, or rejection. Authors will receive detailed feedback from the reviewers to improve their work.
-
Confidentiality: All materials submitted for review are treated as confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside the review process.
