Peer Review Process

The Geographical Association of Tanzania is a peer reviewed scholarly publication space. Once accepted, each manuscript will be submitted to two reviewers (double blind) who are specialists in the subject matter. Only articles which have conformed to the requirements above will be sent reviewers. The reviewers’ recommendations will provide the basis for the Chief Editor to make an informed decision. 

Only error-free manuscripts will be published.  It is the role of the author to ensure that all submissions are in line with the authors' guide. Authors may be asked to send their work to professional language editors or make clarifications on their final work before it is finally published.

The articles will be published online as soon as they are ready. They will be openly accessed on the University website under the journal’s name before they are printed on hard copies.
