Reviewer Anonymity Policy

Global Journals is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the peer review process. Reviewer identities remain anonymous to authors, fellow reviewers, and the public. In specific cases, with prior consent, identities may be shared with Editorial Board members or other reviewers assessing the same manuscript.

Reviewers may be acknowledged collectively for their contributions without linking names to specific manuscripts.
