Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Submissions should be prepared in accordance with the Author Guidelines. Manuscripts may be returned to authors without scientific assessment if they do not meet all submission requirements, are not in the correct format, or cannot be downloaded reliably.

Submissions must represent the original and independent work of the authors. Each new submission is assessed by the Principal Editor using the Manuscript Readiness Level (MRL) to determine whether it falls within the general remit of JFKS.

JFKS applies a double-blind review process, which means that both reviewer and author identities are concealed throughout the review process. Peer review comments are confidential and will only be disclosed with the express agreement of the reviewer.

Review Model
Double-blind
Initial Decision
Within 2 months
Revision Period
Within 2 weeks

All manuscripts are subject to peer review, and authors can expect a decision or an explanation for any delay within two months of receipt. If a revision is invited, the corresponding author should submit the revised manuscript within two weeks.

The final decision is made by the Principal Editors based on the information obtained through the peer-review process. JFKS ensures that reviewed manuscripts are treated confidentially prior to publication, in accordance with publication ethics.

Editorial Decisions
