Instructions for Reviewers

Instructions for Reviewers

The Romanian Journal of Labour and Social Studies (RJLSS) follows a double-blind peer review process involving two independent reviewers.

Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and well-supported assessments of the manuscripts assigned to them. Manuscripts must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shared with third parties. Reviewers should inform the editorial team of any potential conflicts of interest or difficulties in meeting the agreed review deadline.

Reviewers are asked to assess the scientific quality and relevance of the manuscript, considering its objectives, literature review, methodology, results and discussion, conclusions, and references.

Reviewers should complete the RJLSS Review Report Form, providing comments on the relevant sections of the manuscript. Comments should be clear, specific, and constructive, identifying both the strengths of the manuscript and any aspects requiring clarification or improvement. Reviewers should provide sufficient explanations to support their recommendations.

The completed review report should be returned to the editorial team within the agreed timeframe. The final publication decision is made by the Editorial Board, taking into consideration the reviewers' reports and recommendations.
