Peer Review Policies

Peer review is an essential quality-control measure for any academic journal. In this process, experts in the relevant fields evaluate submitted work from multiple perspectives, including the clarity of writing, the accuracy of technical content, proper documentation, and the research’s overall impact on its discipline. Reviewers play a crucial role in scholarly publishing, and their informed opinions help validate the quality of the articles under consideration. Typically, the peer review process may take a minimum of 7–8 weeks.

The Asian Journal of Agriculture Research and Extension (AJARE) employs a peer review process to uphold academic standards and ensure the validity of each submission. By default, the journal follows a single-blinded peer review model, enabling impartial editorial decision-making.

Based on reviewer comments and recommendations, manuscripts may be returned to authors for revision. Once revised manuscripts are received, they are reassigned to the reviewer(s) for further evaluation of the changes. However, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on whether to publish.

Double-Blinded Peer Review
Upon an author’s request—and with prior approval from the Editor-in-Chief—the Asian Journal of Agriculture Research and Extension (AJARE) can facilitate a double-blinded peer review process, further ensuring objectivity and anonymity for both authors and reviewers.
