Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Data, Computation, and Information Systems (JDCIS) undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure academic quality, originality, and relevance.

1. Initial Editorial Screening

  • Each submission is first reviewed by the editor to ensure it fits the journal’s focus and scope, formatting requirements, and author guidelines.

  • Manuscripts that do not meet the criteria may be returned to the authors for revision before being sent for peer review.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

  • JDCIS uses a double-blind peer review system, meaning both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the process.

  • Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.

  • Reviewers assess the paper’s originality, methodology, clarity, relevance, and overall scientific contribution.

3. Reviewer Recommendations

Reviewers may recommend one of the following decisions:

  1. Accept without revision

  2. Accept with minor revision

  3. Major revision required

  4. Reject

4. Author Revision

  • Authors are given an opportunity to revise their manuscripts in accordance with reviewer comments within a specified time (typically 2–3 weeks).

  • Revised manuscripts must be accompanied by a response to reviewer document detailing all changes made.

5. Final Decision

  • The editor evaluates the revised manuscript based on reviewer recommendations and the author’s responses.

  • The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on acceptance, further revision, or rejection.

6. Publication

  • Accepted manuscripts are scheduled for publication in the next available issue (published four times a year).

  • All accepted papers undergo copyediting, proofreading, and layout editing before final publication.
