Introduction

JTL supports peer review, since it allows research to be evaluated and commented upon by independent experts who work within the same academic field as the authors. It also helps to improve manuscripts and allows the editor to assess a work’s suitability for publication.

Review process

The journal has a double-blinded peer review process. Manuscripts are initially examined by editorial staff and are sent by the Editor-in-Chief to two expert independent reviewers, either directly or by a Section Editor.

Reviewer invitations

Reviewer invitations are emailed from the journal’s Editor-in-Chief. The invitation will include the manuscript abstract to help you decide whether to accept the invitation.
