Review and Editorial Procedure
At ACUJHIS we use independent, double-blind peer review to ensure that the articles we publish are of a high international standard. Receipt of manuscripts will be acknowledged by email less than 24 hours upon receipt. The Editor may issue desk rejects if articles clearly fall outside the journal’s scope or other requirements. Articles that are considered by editors to be of sufficient quality and relevance to consider for publication will be sent out for peer-review. Articles accepted for publication will have been reviewed by at least two expert readers. Final acceptance of articles is conditional upon suggested revisions being satisfactorily executed, and a second round of review may be required. The Editors and the journal’s Editor(s)-in-Chief are responsible for the final decisions on articles, after taking external reviewers’ reports into account.
When an article is accepted for publication it will go through a reference-checking process before being published.
