Reviewer Anonymity Policy

Reviewers are expected to maintain complete confidentiality regarding the manuscripts they evaluate. They must not disclose, discuss, or use any part of the manuscript content for personal or professional purposes.

All reviewer comments and recommendations are shared with authors in an anonymized form. Reviewers should avoid including any identifying information in their reports that could compromise their anonymity. Any concerns regarding potential breaches of anonymity are taken seriously and addressed promptly.

The IJAIKE editorial board ensures that the double-blind process is upheld at every stage. An important role of the Managing Editors and Editor-in-Chief is to support the extensive efforts of journal editors and the often-unsung volunteer work undertaken by peer reviewers in maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. It is a tribute to scholarly practice that the system functions effectively and that issues are comparatively rare.

Both the journal’s management authority and the publisher play a vital role in supporting, investing in, and nurturing the peer review process. This includes safeguarding the anonymity and confidentiality of all communications and ensuring that the highest ethical standards are consistently followed.

Reviewers must declare any conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts where impartiality may be compromised. IJAIKE expects all reviewers to provide fair, constructive, and timely feedback in accordance with best practices in scholarly publishing.
