Peer Review Process

Peer review is the critical assessment of manuscripts submitted to journals by experts who are not part of the editorial staff. Peer review helps editors decide which manuscripts are suitable for the journal and helps authors and editors to improve the quality of reporting. Publication of research articles by AJPT is dependent primarily on their validity and coherence, as judged by peer reviewers, who are also asked whether the writing is comprehensible and how interesting they consider the article to be.

AJPT is a peer-reviewed journal committed to the unbiased, independent, critical assessment of all scholarly work -including the scientific process – submitted to it for publication. AJPT submits all submitted manuscripts for outside, independent review.

AJPT respects the Reviewer’s right to confidentiality. Reviewers shall remain anonymous. Reviewer comments shall not be published or otherwise publicized.

Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by two or more experts. Peer reviewers have four possible options: accept; accept after minor revision; ask author(s) to make revisions and resubmit; or reject because scientifically unsound.

When asking for revisions, reviewers have three possible goals: to tighten the arguments based on existing data, to identify where more data are needed and to improve the clarity and coherence of the paper.
