The followings are the details of the reviewing process in AQAR:

  • All submitted articles are subject to at least 2 peer-reviews before publication. The journal uses a double-blind peer review system.
  • The double-blind peer review system is an review system in which the identity of the author(s) of an article is hidden from selected reviewers.
    Any details that might enable a reviewer to identify the author(s) of an article are removed from the article before it is submitted to the reviewer. Similarly, the identities of the reviewers are also hidden from the authors when sending their comments to the author(s).
  • The journal considers the double-blind peer review system to be the most effective review system because it limits possible bias from selected reviewers or authors. It enables authors to improve their articles and assists editors in making decisions about articles.
