All submitted manuscripts are initially assessed by a member of the editorial team and subsequently reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Journal of Tropical Soils (JTS) employs a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.

To ensure an objective evaluation, authors are advised not to suggest reviewers with whom they have a personal or professional relationship that could result in a conflict of interest. If the author suggest potential reviewers, authors must provide valid and active email addresses.

Authors may also indicate individuals whom they prefer not to review their manuscript. In such cases, a clear and specific reason for the exclusion request must be provided
