Editor Guidelines

The African Journal of Poultry Farming is dedicated to advancing the field of poultry science through the publication of high-quality, original research that addresses the challenges and opportunities within the industry. Editors play a crucial role in this process by ensuring that all submitted manuscripts undergo a thorough and impartial review. They are expected to uphold the journal's ethical standards, including maintaining confidentiality and transparency throughout the editorial process. Editors should actively seek out and select qualified reviewers who possess the relevant expertise to provide constructive and insightful feedback on the manuscripts. They are responsible for making informed decisions based on the reviewers' evaluations, taking into account the originality, significance, and methodological rigor of the research presented. Clear and respectful communication with authors is essential, as editors must provide detailed feedback and guidance for revisions when necessary. Additionally, editors must remain vigilant against potential conflicts of interest and ensure that all published research adheres to ethical guidelines regarding research conduct and publication. By fostering a collaborative and supportive environment, editors contribute to the journal's mission of promoting innovative research and best practices in poultry farming, ultimately benefiting researchers, practitioners, and policymakers across Africa and beyond.
