Journal of Advanced Computing Systems (JACS)

Peer Review Policy

Peer review is critical in maintaining the standards of published articles. Therefore, the Journal of Advanced Computing Systems (JACS) is committed to the highest standards of peer review. The journal employs a two-stage review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published research.

Stage 1: Preliminary Screening

Each received manuscript undergoes a preliminary screening by the editors to assess:

Conformity to the aims and scope of the journal.
Serious language errors.
Manuscript formatting and adherence to submission guidelines.

Manuscripts may be rejected with an editorial decision or returned to authors for further adjustments at this stage.

Stage 2: Full Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the preliminary screening are sent to two or more external reviewers who are experts in their fields for a full peer-review process. Editors may assign additional reviewers if necessary. The journal operates a double-blind peer review process, where:

Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.
Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.
Manuscripts are blinded before being sent to reviewers.

Based on the review reports, editors may decide to:

Accept the manuscript.
Reject the manuscript.
Request further revisions from the authors.

Reviewer Responsibilities

Reviewers play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of published research. They are expected to:

Be objective and timely in preparing their evaluation reports.
Express their views with supportive arguments.
Keep the reviewed manuscript confidential.
Inform the editor immediately if they feel unable to review the paper or have a conflict of interest with the work.
