Peer Review Process

J-REMIKES applies a double-blind review system in which the author and reviewers do not recognise each other, and their identity is maintained to be confidential. Reviewers are obliged to declare when they found that the article that they are assigned might have any potential conflict of interest. We attempt to complete the article review and processing in 4-6 weeks after submission. The submitted articles will undergo screening and review processes below:

  1. Author’s submission
  2. Technical check by administrator (i.e., supporting document completeness)
  3. Editorial consideration after the technical check (i.e., writing style, formatting style, referencing, topic appropriateness, plagiarism check), decision:
    • Pass/Appropriate, then go to step 4 (letter of submission to be issued)
    • Fail/Inappropriate, then REJECTED, to be revised and re-submit (letter of rejection including revision suggestions to be issued) OR final rejection  (letter of permanent rejection to be issued)
