Peer Review Process
JPS uses the double-blind revision, so the identity of the reviewer and of the authors are hidden during the review process. For this reason, authors are encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts don’t reveal their identities.
The title page and the manuscript must be submitted in two separate files. The title page should include the title, names of authors and their affiliation, author's full address including a telephone number and email address.
The manuscript must be prepared as follows:
- Use the third person to refer to contributions of the authors published previously.
- Use personal bibliographic citations only if they are significant to the proposed article
Policy of screening for plagiarism
