Publication Process

PUBLICATION PROCESS

1. Submission: The author submits the manuscript and required metadata through the JESOCIN online system.
2. Initial screening: The editor checks scope, completeness, originality, ethical compliance, and basic scholarly quality. Manuscripts that do not meet minimum requirements may be declined before review.
3. Peer review: Eligible manuscripts are assigned to at least one qualified reviewer. Review records and confidential comments are retained in the OJS dashboard.
4. Revision: Authors respond to reviewer and editor comments and submit a revised manuscript when required.
5. Editorial decision: The editor records an acceptance, revision, resubmission, or rejection decision based on the manuscript and review evidence.
6. Copyediting and production: Accepted manuscripts undergo metadata verification, language and formatting checks, proofreading, and final galley preparation.
7. Publication: Articles are assigned to an issue only after the editorial process is complete. JESOCIN publishes twice a year, in June and December, beginning consistently with the December 2026 publication during the 2026 transition.

Publication fees do not guarantee acceptance, accelerated review, or placement in a particular issue. Previously published records are corrected only through transparent editorial notices.
