Double-Blind Peer Review Guidelines

This journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity.  To help with this preparation please ensure the following when submitting to Journal of Sustainability and Science Management:

• Submit the Title Page containing the Authors details and Blinded Manuscript with no author details as two separate files.

Information to help prepare the Title Page

This should include the title, authors’ names, affiliations, a complete address for the corresponding author and an e-mail address. Acknowledgements, authors’ contributions and conflict of interest statements is also placed on this page. 

Information to help prepare the Blinded Manuscript

There are other steps that need to be taken to ensure the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review.  To assist with this process the key items that need to be observed can be downloaded on the main page as UMTJUR paper template where authors can replace items with their original contents before submitting the files.
