Questions and Answers
How many times a year does the journal publish? 6 times a year in February, April, June, August, October and December.
Is the journal peer reviewed? Yes. the journal uses double-blind peer review.
Is there a charge or fee for publishing in the journal? Yes. The AJSW publishes high quality articles that are accessible online free of charge and are indexing and accreditation with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), South Africa; SCOPUS, Elsevier’s abstract and citation database; and several other indexing systems. But this comes at a cost. To cover this cost, the publishers introduced charges for authors after peer review and acceptance. This option will ensure that articles remain open access. Most of our writers are affiliated with universities and government departments that provide funding for publishing. This practice is widely used by other publishers. The peer review process is not impacted by these charges. Acceptance of manuscripts is not ensured by the potential of a writer to pay, they are accepted based on their quality and how they meet the requirements of the journal
