Peer Review Process
JUSTNESS applies a double-blind peer review policy. The identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other throughout the review process. Submitted manuscripts are evaluated by reviewers with expertise in the relevant field according to the journal's editorial standards and the principles of high-quality academic research. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the same reviewers to ensure that all required improvements have been completed satisfactorily.
