At the International Journal of Social Rehabilitation, we are committed to transparency and the articles submitted to our journal are predominantly unsolicited and all articles will be subjected to a peer review process. Our journal operates a single anonymised peer review whereby the names of the reviewers are hidden from the author and two external reviewer reports are obtained before original research articles are accepted for publication. Manuscripts authored by a member of the journal’s editorial team are independently peer reviewed; an editor will have no input or influence on the peer review process or publication decision for their own article. For more information on what to expect during the peer review process please refer to the International Journal of Social Rehabilitation - the peer review process.

International Journal of Social Rehabilitation requests that all reviewers adhere to a set of basic principles and standards during the peer-review process in research publications which are based on the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers. Please refer to our peer review terms and conditions policy page.
