Peer Review Process

Review Guidelines

JMO aims to match the best global standards for manuscripts submitted for publication.

The double blind peer review process provides:

helpful assessment of a paper's strengths, and diagnosis of its problem areas
clear, constructive advice on how to develop and improve the manuscript
prompt feedback.

To do justice to author's works, we expect reviewers to provide at least one full page of comments uploaded into the Peer Review form or appended to their version of the manuscript.

To ensure the integrity of the blind peer review process, information in manuscripts must have guaranteed confidentiality. Reviewers are thus requested to refrain from discussing the manuscript with another person.

The JMO review process adheres to the APA style as outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th Edition, available at:

Conducting a review

Reviewers are expected to be experts in the topic and methods associated with the area of the assigned manuscript. Reviewers may find the following broad questions useful.

Is the paper well grounded in the contemporary literature on the topic? Does it help the reader to connect this paper to previous work in the field?
Does the paper make clear the contribution it aims to make to that literature? In your view, is the contribution useful? Important? Substantive?
Does the paper present a coherent argument for its position? Are positions, propositions or hypotheses in the paper persuasively developed? If an empirical investigation is reported, is the choice of material, methods and analyses used appropriate? And appropriately used? Do conclusions drawn from an enquiry follow persuasively from the argument and investigation reported? How fully does the paper succeed in making its contribution?
Are references accurate and timely, and consistent throughout? Do in-text citations appear in References, and vice-versa as appropriate?
Are heading levels appropriate and concise?
Has ethical clearance been shown for research process? Are ethical processes followed included in the body of the article?
Is the written expression of the paper clear, concise and accessible to academics with an interest in this field? (Note that JMO papers are copy-edited before publication: it is not part of the reviewer's task to correct language, though an indication of any flawed grammar, spelling, etc. will be appreciated.)

We ask reviewers to:

register on OJS as a reviewer
access assigned manuscripts for review promptly
complete the online JMO Review form
make annotations on the manuscript itself - using Track Changes or highlighting your comments - then upload that document
submit a review recommendation.

Within 2 weeks of receiving all reviews, remarks are conveyed to the author(s) together with a summary report from the editor. The editor will correspond with authors and reviewers on any subsequent revision to the paper that may be requested, until a decision is reached on publication.
