REVIEW PROCESS
Submission of an article to AJTEM implies that the research described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or an academic dissertation, thesis or research project). The covering letter should explicitly state that the manuscript is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. It is important that all authors approve the submission of the manuscript for consideration for publication. To verify originality, all manuscripts submitted to AJTEM will be checked using originality detection software.
The African Journal of Technical Education and Management (AJTEM) follows a two-stage process in evaluating manuscript submissions. In Stage 1, the Editorial Team evaluates quality of the manuscript and potential interest to the journal’s readership and prediction of eventual publication in AJTEM. Those that do not get through Stage 1 are returned to the author(s) to revise and resubmit for consideration for publication in AJTEM. Submissions that pass Stage 1 are then sent to three independent referees as part of Stage 2. Responses from at least two reviewers and the Editor’s review of the paper shall be used to make a decision to accept the paper or not.
ETHICS POLICY
For all submitted manuscripts involving human participants’ research conducted by one or more of the authors, the authors must communicate the following to the editors before the manuscript can be reviewed. (1) The authors have obtained approval from all appropriate Institutional Review Boards or equivalent institutional oversight authorities and (2) the data collection efforts do not involve deception of human subjects even if the protocol was approved by all appropriate Institutional Review Boards. If authors are uncertain whether their data collection procedure involved deception, please contact one of the editors.
