2. Single-Blind Peer Review

JPT applies a single-blind peer review process, in which the identities of the reviewers are kept confidential and are not disclosed to the authors, while the reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities. To support the academic editors in managing the review process, JPT staff facilitates all communication between authors, reviewers, and external editors. The editor may access the manuscript status and reviewer information at any stage of the review process. Reviewers are typically given two weeks to complete and submit their review reports. For revised manuscripts, reviewers are requested to provide their evaluations within one week. Extensions may be granted upon request and at the discretion of the editor
