Peer Reviewers

At The Context Journal of English Studies, we adhere to a double-blind peer review policy, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the evaluation process. As an extension of this policy, we do not disclose reviewers' names in our published issues or on our website. This deliberate choice is grounded in several key principles:

  • Protection of Reviewer Autonomy: Allowing reviewers to provide candid, unbiased feedback without fear of retribution or external influence.
  • Prevention of Potential Conflicts: Minimizing the risk of personal or professional conflicts that could arise from disclosed identities.
  • Safeguarding the Integrity of the Review Process: Ensuring that manuscript evaluations are based solely on academic merit, free from external pressures.
  • Alignment with Best Practices in Academic Publishing: Our policy follows guidelines by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which prioritize the confidentiality of the peer review process.

Assurance:

While reviewer identities are not publicly disclosed, we express our sincere gratitude to all reviewers for their invaluable contributions to maintaining the high academic standards of The Context Journal. Their expertise and dedication are crucial to our mission of publishing exemplary research in English Studies.
