 +===== About the journal =====
 +
 +[[:​jisdsa:​|JISDSA]] is an international,​ peer reviewed journal, publishing high-quality,​ original research. Please see the journal’s [[aims|Aims & Scope]] for information about its focus and peer-review policy. Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.

 +===== Peer review =====
 +
 +We are committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. [[:​jisdsa:​|JISDSA]] adopts an open review process. We allow an author to recommend two potential guess editors and 5 potential reviewers who are familiar with the topic. An associate editor will make the final decision on selecting a guess editor, and the guess editor will then select at least two reviewers. A reviewer can choose to be anonymous or not and can elect to publish their review along the accepted paper. The guest editor then makes a recommendation on acceptance, revision & resubmission,​ or decline of the manuscript. The associate editor finally approves and concludes the review process. A manuscript is either declined and published after that. The review process is illustrated in the flow chart below.\\ ​
