About the Journal

Focus and Scope

This is an online double blind peer review journal which publishes scholarly articles in all disciplines of science, technology and development and will normally be published three times in a year. All articles have to be original research, reviews and short communications that have not been published elsewhere or are being considered for publication in other journals. The Ghana Journal of Science, Technology and Development mission is to provide a platform to all scientists, researchers, academicians, and industrialists to share their ideas, knowledge, information and research findings among the people of their own fraternity

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are first read by the editorial staff and only manuscripts that seem most likely to meet our editorial criteria are sent for formal review. Those papers judged by the editors to be of insufficient general interest or otherwise inappropriate are rejected promptly without external review (although these decisions may be based on informal advice from specialists in the field). Manuscripts judged to be of potential interest to our readership are sent for formal review to two reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:

Accept, with or without editorial revisions
Invite the authors to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision is reached
Reject, but indicate to the authors that further work might justify a resubmission

Reject outright, typically on grounds of specialist interest, lack of novelty, insufficient conceptual advance or major technical and/or interpretational problems

Publication Frequency

Normally be published twice a year
