Peer Review Process
Initial Editorial Assessment
JoAS are eager to provide a rapid publication process through an initial assessment conducted by an editorial committee consisting of the editorial team members. The primary purpose is to decide whether to send the paper for peer review or to reject it. The main points are scope, compliance with the guidelines, and language. Sometimes a paper will be returned to the author with a request for revisions to help editors decide whether to send it out for review. Authors may expect the decision of the Initial Editorial Assessment from this stage of the review process within 1-2 weeks of submission.
Review Process
After passing the Initial Editorial Assessment, the article will be sent to peer reviewers. The peer-review process involved at least two reviewers for each manuscript selected based on their expertise. All reviewing process is done by a double-blind review, which means the authors and peer-reviewers do not know each other’s identity. The reviewers should complete the review within three weeks in each reviewing round after the review request was sent.
Decision-Making Process
The decision to accept for publication is based on the peer reviewer's recommendations, based on which two acceptance recommendations are required. If there is a difference in the two reviewers’ recommendations, the editor has the right to seek the third reviewer's consideration. The final decision to publish is made by the editor-in-chief, and editorial committee (national or international advisory board) by considering the advice from reviewers.
