The selection of the reviewer in the Alpha Centauri Scientific and Technological Research Journal is critical to the publication process, and we base our choice on many factors, including experience, reputation, specific recommendations, and our own prior experience of the characteristics of the reviewer. For example, we select arbitrators who are quick, careful, and provide reasoning for their views, whether critical or lenient.

We check with potential reviewers before submitting manuscripts for review. Reviewers should note that these messages contain confidential information, which should be treated as such.

Alpha Centauri journal strives for a diverse demographic representation within our peer database. Therefore, we would like to strongly encourage authors to suggest to reviewers to provide a diverse list of their peers, particularly with regard to gender and geography.
