We intend to give a speedy editorial review process to all articles submitted to NJU and communicate them back to the author(s) as soon as possible.

Articles submitted to NJU will first be screened by the editor-in-chief to ensure they meet the journal guidelines and basic principles of scientific research. Thereafter successful articles will be sent to at least three reviewers who are experts in that field for a detailed double-blind peer review and a decision of two out of the three of the reviewers may suffice and upheld by the editor.

All articles submitted to NJU should be in clear English language and should not be more than 3,500 words including references. It is however the policy of the Nigerian Journal of Urology not to reject articles purely on their novelty.

Rapid Review
NJU will strive to respond to requests of authors concerning rapid review. Based on the degree of the scientific, social, or economic importance of such requests as determined by the editorial board, the journal will accelerate the review process to completion within 48 to 72 hours and issue acceptance letters.
