The journal selects reviewers based on their subject-matter expertise, research experience, and publication record. Reviewers are expected to provide constructive, evidence-based, and timely evaluations that contribute to improving the scholarly quality of submitted manuscripts.

Editorial decisions are made independently by the Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the overall academic merit of the manuscript.

The journal is dedicated to fostering transparent, responsible, and high-quality scholarly communication within the field of social development and related disciplines.
