Review process

The Editors of IJRT carry out the initial evaluation of manuscripts. Selected articles are then reviewed in a blind refereeing system. Peer-reviewers may suggest changes and additional work and authors are required to revise their papers within a given time frame. Authors will also need to provide details about the changes they made in response to the reviewer’s comments. A response template will be provided by the Editors of IJRT.

Papers are evaluated according to the following criteria:

• Relevance to the general aim of IJRT and for the current Call for Papers.
• Theoretical and methodological grounding: use of consistent and appropriate theory and methodology based on relevant and up-to date scholarship in the field. Authors should make clear how the data discussed in their papers was produced and analyzed.
• Applied potential: it is recommended that work be practice-oriented, it must go beyond a descriptive level and have relevance to a wider range of situations, particularly to current problems and urgent challenges.
• Originality and innovation: innovative and original approaches are encouraged.
• Clarity of writing and argumentation.
