Reviewer Guidelines

Guidelines for Conducting Reviews - Dan-ag Journal

Welcome, Esteemed Reviewers!

Dan-ag is grateful for your commitment to upholding academic excellence and advancing educational scholarship through rigorous peer review. These guidelines provide a framework to ensure your evaluations are comprehensive, objective, and constructive.

Understanding the Review Process:

• Double-Blind Review: Dan-ag employs a double-blind review process. Neither the reviewers nor the authors are aware of each other's identities throughout the process. This minimizes bias and allows for a focus on the research itself.

• Confidentiality: All submitted manuscripts are considered confidential documents. Please refrain from discussing the content of the manuscript with anyone outside the review process.

• Timeliness: We appreciate your prompt attention to assigned manuscripts. Please complete your review within the designated timeframe to ensure a smooth publication process.

Reviewing the Manuscript:

• Read the manuscript thoroughly: Carefully evaluate the research question, methodology, data analysis, results, discussion, and conclusions.

• Consider the following criteria:

  • Originality and Significance: Does the research address a novel question or contribute new insights to the field?

  • Methodology: Is the research design sound and appropriate for the research question?

  • Data Analysis and Results: Are the data analyzed rigorously and presented clearly?

  • Discussion and Conclusions: Are the findings interpreted thoughtfully? Do the conclusions logically follow from the results?

  • Writing and Clarity: Is the manuscript well-written, concise, and free of grammatical errors?

  • Ethical Considerations: Did the research adhere to ethical research practices?

• Provide constructive feedback: Your comments should be clear, specific, and actionable. Help the authors improve their manuscript by pointing out strengths and weaknesses.

• Focus on the research: Avoid personal attacks on the authors. Maintain a respectful and professional tone throughout your review.

Completing the Review Form:

• We utilize an online review form to collect your feedback. The form will guide you through various aspects of the manuscript and provide space for detailed comments.

• Be specific and provide clear justifications for your recommendations (accept, revise, or reject).

Additional Resources:

• Dan-ag's Ethical Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with our ethical guidelines available on our website.

• Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA): https://apastyle.apa.org/ (or relevant style guide depending on your field)
