Peer Review Process

Double blind Peer Review Details

Public Administration Perspective Journal submits all received articles to at least 2 reviewers if approved by the editorial board after initial review. The process of reviewing scientific articles in this journal is specialized (Double blind Peer Review). The judging style used is double blind, which is widely used in for articles in the humanities and social sciences. In the double blind reviewing method, the identity of the reviewer and author is hidden. The reviewer does not know the name of the author of the article and the author does not know the name of the reviewer. To do so, the sender of the article must also submit the final file without the authors' names to the journal. Therefore, in such a case, two types of files are uploaded by the author on the website of the journal:

  • Original article file without authors name ·
  • The file contains the title of the article along with the full names and addresses of the authors
