Review Process

REVIEWERS PAGE

Reviewing a manuscript written by a fellow scientist is a privilege. However, it is a time-consuming responsibility. Hence, ASE’s Editorial Board, authors, and audiences appreciate your willingness to accept this responsibility and your dedication. ASE adheres to a double-blind peer-review process that is rapid, fair, and ensures a high quality of articles published. In so doing, ASE needs reviewers who can provide insightful and helpful comments on submitted manuscripts with a turn around time of about 6 weeks. Maintaining ASE as a scientific journal of high quality depends on reviewers with a high level of expertise and an ability to be objective, fair, and insightful in their evaluation of manuscripts. It should be noted that the First desicion made by the editor is less than a week.
