The editorial board of JSIE have carefully examined all submitted manuscripts whether these are abided by the ethical guidelines of the ICMJE and COPE. The published articles have involved the statements of conflict of interest, institutional review board, informed consent, and human/animal rights.
When the Journal faces suspected cases of research and publication misconduct such as a redundant (duplicate) publication, plagiarism, fabricated data, changes in authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, an ethical problem discovered with the submitted manuscript, a reviewer who has appropriated an author’s idea or data, complaints against editors, and other issues, the resolving process will follow the flowchart provided by the COPE (http://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts). The editorial board of JSIE will discuss the suspected cases and reach a decision. JSIE will not hesitate to publish errata, corrigenda, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed.
8. Peer review
The JSIE has on online submission and peer review system at https://submit.jsiejournal.org. Further details on peer review can be found under the Peer Review Policy section of the Editorial Policy page. The basic policy is as follows.
All papers, including those invited by the editor, are subject to a rigorous peer review process. JSIE has adopted a double-blind peer review policy, in which the identities of both the authors and reviewers are kept anonymous to each other throughout the review process. However, the editor managing the review process will have visibility of the authors and reviewers’ identities. The Editorial Board selects reviewers based on expertise, publication history, and past reviews. During the peer review process, reviewers can interact directly or exchange information (e.g., via submission systems or email) with only an editor, which is known as “independent review.” An initial decision will normally be made within 5 weeks of receipt of a manuscript. No information about the review process or editorial decision process is published on the article page.
All articles in JSIE include the dates of submission, revision, acceptance, and publication on their article page.
