Editor's note: The heros of Nijotech
Abstract
On daily basis, experts in their different fields of endeavor work within their tight schedules behind the scene, reading, reviewing and re-researching articles submitted to NIJOTECH. These people get no tangible reward for this arduous job as this is commonly called a peer review community service.
In this issue, I on behalf of the Editor-in-Chief, Engr. Prof. J. C. Agunwamba, the Dean of Engineering Engr. Prof. O. U. Oparaku and other Associate Editors wish to express our gratitude to these unique and devoted people. We owe the success recorded so far in the quality of our papers to them. Apart from providing timely reviews, they point out the strengths and weaknesses of an article and in most cases proffers solutions, suggest methodologies and even recommend better procedures to make our papers eligible.
It is only based on their recommendations that we decide on the status of an article. These statuses are simply decided on a 5-point scale as shown in Table 1. A minimum of three review reports is normally required for a decision to be enacted.
For this reason, we devote the following pages to list their names and affiliation as the key drivers of our journal in this last issue of 2016. Owing to the fact that their status change from time to time, we will list them with only initials and surnames and accord them the befitting status of MEMBERS OF THE EXPANDED EDITORIAL BOARD … and they are actually the HEROS of NIJOTECH.
