Peer Review Process

Articles submitted to JACE will be evaluated through 2 stages of review, i.e., pre-review by the editorial team and substance review by reviewers.

The pre-review of the article is done by the editorial team to review the conformity of the article with the focus and scope of the journal as well as the journal style and specific JACE writing guidelines. The duration of review is 1-2 weeks.

Substantial single-blind reviews are performed by at least 2 reviewers. The duration of review is 1-2 weeks. If desired, the reviewer may request a re-review after the author revises his/her article.

The decision whether to accept or decline the article to be published is authorized by the editor based on recommendations from reviewers. Articles that have been declared accepted and have been in layout will be published in the In Progress issue before the regular issue is published on schedule so they can be indexed and cited immediately.
