Peer Review Process

All articles submitted will normally go through Peer Review process, which is a measure of assessment of a manuscript/paper/article by one or more reviewers of the same expertise or proficiency. These methods are more suitable for the assessment of journals' performance, accuracy, adequacy, and quality of work. This process makes NJER a scholarly peer-review journal.

The final assessment of the manuscript is the responsibility of the Editor in Chief after reading the comments from the reviewers. The Editor in Chief has the right to accept, reject or accept the manuscript with corrections. Once the manuscript is accepted, the publishing process commences, usually, an article publication fee (APC) will be required. The Author of the accepted paper is given a specified timeline to pay the APC. In the case of not being able to meet the deadline for payment, the accepted paper may be published in the next issue as soon as the APC is paid.

All articles submitted to NJERU are not being considered elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal. It should be noted that the contents of any article are the sole opinion of the author(s) and not of NJERU.

We are working hard to make sure, NJERU is indexed in Google Scholar, Research Gate, Academia, etc. We, therefore, solicit your patronage.
