Peer Review Process
The editors and reviewers of Social empowerment journal endeavour to provide a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure that the highest quality of research is published. While our aim is to complete the peer review process as quickly as possible, the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors ensure that reviewers’ comments are properly assessed in the Reviewer Form. All types of conflicts of interest must be declared by all the members of Social Empowerment Journal editorial board before accepting to be part of the Review Process.
The manuscripts’ screening process involves a review by the editors and reviewers of our journal who are experts in the fields of Social empowerment and Humanities, Social and economic Sciences. The reviewers evaluate the manuscripts in terms of scope, quality, originality, accuracy of results, validity of methodology, and interest for the readership.
The Editor-in-Chief sends the manuscripts to the associate editors to be sent again to two experts in the fields for a rigorous peer-review. This is an important step of the review process as the constructive feedback given will help improve the quality of the submitted manuscripts.
If the decision is for minor revision, authors will be required to revise their manuscripts according to the reviewers’ orientations.
When submitting the revised versions of manuscripts, authors must ensure the revised manuscripts go along with the reviewers’ required amendments.
The revised manuscripts will be re-evaluated by the same reviewers for final decisions.
Once reviewed, the Journal’s Editor-in-Chief finally approves the accepted manuscripts by the associate editors and reviewers.
