Become a Reviewer

Social and Psychology Research Journal (SPRJ) warmly invites qualified researchers, academics, and professionals to join our international panel of reviewers. Peer review is a cornerstone of academic quality and integrity, and your expertise can make a significant contribution to advancing interdisciplinary research.

Reviewer responsibilities toward authors

  • Providing written, unbiased, constructive feedback in a timely manner on the scholarly merits and the scientific value of the work, together with the documented basis for the reviewer’s opinion
  • Indicating whether the writing is clear, concise, and relevant and rating the work’s composition, scientific accuracy, originality, and interest to the journal’s readers
  • Avoiding personal comments or criticism
  • Maintaining the confidentiality of the review process: not sharing, discussing with third parties, or disclosing information from the reviewed paper

Reviewer responsibilities toward editors

  • Notifying the editor immediately if unable to review in a timely manner and, if able, providing the names of alternative reviewers
  • Alerting the editor about any potential personal, financial or perceived conflict of interest and declining to review when a conflict exists
  • Complying with the editor’s written instructions on the journal’s expectations for the scope, content, and quality of the review
  • Providing a thoughtful, fair, constructive, and informative critique of the submitted work, which may include supplementary material provided to the journal by the author
  • Determining scientific merit, originality, and scope of the work; indicating ways to improve it; and, if requested, recommending acceptance or rejection using whatever rating scale the editor deems most useful
  • Noting any ethical concerns, such as any violation of accepted norms of ethical treatment of animal or human subjects or substantial similarity between the reviewed manuscript and any published paper or any manuscript concurrently submitted to another journal that may be known to the reviewer
  • Refraining from direct author contact

Note to Reviewers

Reviewers are expected to provide timely, constructive, and fair evaluations of manuscripts. All peer-review activities are conducted under strict confidentiality and adhere to the highest ethical standards. Reviewers must not upload manuscripts or confidential material to GenAI tools or external AI systems, as this may compromise confidentiality and intellectual property.
