REFEREEING POLICY

JEAS adopts a strict refereeing policy with the set of rules given below to ensure quality of the published papers.

Prior to the peer review process of submitted papers, an electronic plagiarism check shall be undertaken. If the paper does not satisfy a minimum level of authenticity, it will be rejected, and the peer review process shall not be performed.
Two independent and external referees are selected for peer review of each paper.
A double-blind refereeing policy is adopted. Hence, name(s) of author(s) is (are) not revealed to referees and vice versa.
If two or more papers are submitted by the same author(s) and/or co-author(s), the papers are to be sent to the same two peer referees so as to indicate similarities, if any.
JEAS publishes only works classified exclusively be the two referees as “Research Paper". Therefore, papers classified by one or the two referees as “Essays" or “Technical Reports" are not accepted.
Papers must be accepted by both referees. If a paper is rejected by only one of the two referees, the paper is rejected.
Up to three accepted papers by one author/co-author can be published in one volume.
No more than one paper of the same author/co-author can be published in one issue.
If the author(s) of a rejected paper resubmit the paper after modification, it will be sent to the same referees who reviewed the original paper.
