Peer Review Policy

At Futures Reframed, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, progressive academic environment that emphasizes innovation and collaboration. We believe that intellectual progress thrives when creativity, free thinking, and enjoyment are preserved through constructive feedback. To reflect these values, we have implemented a peer review process designed to support authors in enhancing their work while also promoting transparency in academic publishing.

 

Kind Review Approach

Our reviewers are encouraged to provide ‘kind reviews’, which focus on constructive, respectful, and insightful feedback. The goal of this approach is not only to evaluate the work but also to uplift and guide authors towards improvement. By fostering a supportive atmosphere, we aim to create a community where ideas can flourish and where every contributor feels valued. Hence, your review may be very critical, and must always be honest, but please keep in mind that the author did their very best when writing their submission and that they need the minds of fellow academics not just to improve this article, but to get better in their research and thinking.
