Did you already submit your article? Usually the journal's editor send the submitted papers to the peer reviewers. If not, this would be very strange (and suspicious). Note that there may be a few predatory journals among the Scopus list.

@Wolfgang R. Dick.. I do not consider this strange as some journals do request that one name two to three reviewers who could be contacted to review the manuscript. This manuscript would be sent to these reviewers yet without the details of the author. This practice of anonymity of the author yet preserves the sanctity of the peer review process.

Dear Olena Karpova ,

Whether this is strange or not depends. As indicated by Oyebode Stephen Oyetoro it is quite common that a journal asks for three to five suggestions for peer reviewers. These are suggestions and help editors to invite peer reviewers (with the idea that you as an author are familiar who are the potential experts able to review your manuscript).

As indicated by Wolfgang R. Dick it would be strange if the journal requires peer reviewers supplied by the author who are asked by the author (with some sort of written commitment to do the peer review), this is not the job of an author.

Again ‘normally’ these are suggestions. As a researcher in your field, you are familiar with some names personally (either because you met them or heard a presentation at a conference given by these experts) or you are familiar with some experts by their papers. A tip often given by journals is to have a look at your reference list and pick some names (in the paper you normally can find the contact info).

So, if the journal asks some suggestions (you can provide them some names) this is fine. If the journal requires a list of names with written commitment to do the peer review this is suspect and is not a procedure that follows common academic standards.

Hope this clarifies the matter somewhat.

Best regards.

Thanks a lot dear colleagues for your ideas, Hope this journal is not a scam - Globalisation, Societies and Education. I need just two reviewers, pls.
