Peer Review Process

The peer-review process of the E-journal of Social Work is a double blind process, in which identities of the author and referees are both hidden, making it easier for reviewers to focus on the paper itself without being swayed by any preconceived ideas about the author or his institution.

The manuscripts submitted to the EJSW will initially be pre-screened by the Editorial Board members, and if necessary will be referred to two specialists in the relevant field. The two reviewers are experts in the relevant discipline with anonymity for both author and referee.

If there is a disagreement between the reviewers, the manuscript would be sent to a third reviewer.

The final decision regarding the Acceptance/Rejection will be made by the Review Panel based on the comment made by the referees.
