Peer Review

All manuscripts submitted to MJAS undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Neither authors nor reviewers are disclosed to each other during review. Each submission is assessed by at least two independent expert reviewers who are external to the editorial board and free of conflicts of interest. The editorial board aims to communicate a decision to authors within four months of submission. Full details of the peer review process are available on the Publication Ethics page.

Digital Preservation

This journal utilises the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) to ensure the long-term digital preservation of its published content. The PKP PN is a LOCKSS-based distributed preservation service that provides secure, decentralised archiving of all published articles.

(Note: add this section only after the PKP PN plugin has been enabled in OJS — see Settings → Distribution → Archiving)
