Reviewer Guidelines
Peer Review Process
AgroEnvironmental Sustainability uses a single-blind peer-review model to ensure the originality/quality of the works, which means that the names of the authors may be disclosed to the reviewers but the name of reviewers remains anonymous for the authors. The decision of sending a paper for review is made by the Chief/section editor. Manuscripts not fitting the journal scope or having multiple issues may be desk rejected without sending for peer review. Since the peer review process is a voluntary service and purely dependent on the availability of relevant peers, it may take undefined time to receive recommendations from them (usually 15 to 60 days). This journal asks to recommend a minimum of two reviewers who has expertise in the same subject of manuscript work. However, both reviewers should be from different countries and must not create bias in the peer review process which is the responsibility of the manuscript authors. The journal uses its online manuscript submission and peer review system, where, the chief editor/handling editor will create the accounts of the reviewer for the peer review process.
AgroEnvironmental Sustainability thanks our reviewers for their contributions to peer-review process, assessing the quality, novelty, and ethical standards of the papers submitted to and published in the journal. The insight and expertise you provide allow us to make decisions on manuscripts, maintain the integrity of the journal, and achieve our high-quality editorial standards.
