"A thoughtful review of a manuscript is a gift. It is a gift of expertise, of time, and of  careful consideration. It is a gift for authors, editors, and the field"  (Roberts, Coverdale, Edenharder, & Louie, 2004, p. 81).

       As an open access journal, JSSWR is committed to peer review and to maintaining an Editorial Review Board of highly qualified reviewers. A reviewer's responsibilities include reviewing manuscripts for clarity, accuracy, and research rigor; identifying the strengths and weaknesses manuscripts; providing authors with detailed comments on how to improve their manuscripts; and, ultimately, providing the editor-in-chief with recommendations for accepting or rejecting manuscripts for publication.
