TECHNICAL REVIEWERS


In recognition of their dedicated review for AJFAND, the following have been appointed as technical reviewers. AJFAND could not do without them. They are available when we are stuck and are thorough in their work. They virtually assist us to ensure quality of the journal. Their word is final as to whether a manuscript will be accepted for publication. ....

We hope our list of technical reviewers can grow as more reviewers put in more time.

THANK YOU so much each one of you.We appreciate each one of our other reviewers as well.
AHSANTE! Editor-in-Chief
