PAIR is one of the academic Open Access publishers worldwide. Manuscripts submitted to all our journals are peer-reviewed. Reviewers are involved in all manuscripts submitted to our journals. Based on the reviewer’s comments, the Editor-in-Chief is subsequently making a final decision about how a manuscript needs to be improved.

Recruiting Referees. The editorial office has the obligation of selecting reviewers. When a manuscript is received, an editor seeks reviews from scholars or other specialists to serve as referees. In rare situations, the authors may suggest referees' names, which the Editorial Office must approve. The referees must have an excellent track record as researchers in the field, as evidenced by research published in refereed journals, research-related awards, and experience in peer review. Referees are not selected from the author’s close colleagues, students, or friends. Referees are to inform the editor of any conflict of interest. The Editorial Board often invites research authors to name people they consider qualified to referee their work. The author’s input in selecting referees is solicited because academic writing is typically very specialized.

The identities of the referees selected by the Editorial Board are kept unknown to research authors. However, the reviewer’s identity can be disclosed under some special circumstances. Disclosure of Peer Review may be granted for the following reasons: as proof that the published paper underwent peer review as required by the university for ranking and financial incentives, for regulatory bodies, and as required by the Commission on Higher Education, and for academic program accreditation. Request for peer review results shall be made in writing.
