The Journal Analisis Kebijakan Kehutanan holds to the utmost respect, love, and care when reviewing manuscripts. While we do take off the names of the submitter, we do ask the reviewers to keep their name and e-mail contact on the Reviewer’s Comment Sheet in-order for the author to contact the reviewer directly for assistance and advice. This we feel and argue is the most productive and useful reviewing process for advancing the field of peace studies.
