Policies

The following types of contribution to TERAPUTIK: journal of guidance and counseling are peer-reviewed. Correspondence and all forms of published correction may also be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the editors. In general, to be acceptable, a paper should represent an advance in understanding likely to influence thinking in the field (see Focus and Scope).

Reviewer selection is critical to the publication process, and we base our choice on many factors, including expertise, reputation, specific recommendations and our own previous experience of a reviewer's characteristics. For instance, we avoid using people who are slow, careless, or do not provide reasoning for their views, whether harsh or lenient.

We check with potential reviewers before sending them manuscripts to review. Reviewers should bear in mind that these messages contain confidential information, which should be treated as such.

The Editor shall inform you of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully in 2 weeks. Please notice that because of the great number of submissions that TERAPUTIK: journal of guidance and counseling management has received during the last few months the duration of the review process can be up to 3 months.

For any general questions and comments about the peer-review process, the journal or its editorial policies that are not addressed here, we encourage reviewers to contact us.
