The New York State (Online)Journal of Applied Research in Criminal Justice

Editorial Policy

The journal accepts original research articles, book reviews, and annotated bibliographies. Manuscripts must meet high standards for clarity, grammar, citation, and academic language use.

Peer Review Policy

Peer review is an essential aspect of research journals as it is a quality certification for published papers. This certification allows authors to take pride in their work and assures readers of the content's credibility.

Your article must be within the scope of the journal and be of sufficient quality. If not, it will not be reviewed.

The manuscript must be your original work, you must have the rights to the work, and you must have obtained and be able to supply all necessary permissions for the reproduction of any copyright works not owned by you, including figures, illustrations, tables, lengthy quotations, or other material previously published elsewhere.

All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by a minimum of two anonymous referees.

The journal uses a double-blind peer review process, meaning the author's identity is kept confidential from the reviewers. Authors should remove any identifying information from the manuscript and include it on a separate title page.
