Reviewers
Reviewing a manuscript written by a fellow scientist is a privilege. However, it is a time-consuming responsibility. Hence, UJPSD’s Editorial Board, authors, and audiences appreciate your willingness to accept this responsibility and your dedication. UJPSD adheres to a single-blind peer-review process that is rapid, fair, and ensures a high quality of papers published. In so doing, UJPSD needs reviewers who can provide insightful and helpful comments on submitted manuscripts with a turnaround time of about 2 weeks. Maintaining UJPSD as a scientific journal of high quality depends on reviewers with a high level of expertise and an ability to be objective, fair, and insightful in their evaluation of manuscripts.
