The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of work of the author and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior.

Reviewers and Editors are vital to the success of peer-reviewed academic journals, and we at JESM journal are truly grateful for all the time and hard work of our dedicated Reviewers and Editors.
