Information For Authors

JSII welcomes original, high-quality research articles generally between 5 000 and 8 000 words, excluding references, figures, and tables. Longer manuscripts may be considered where justified by the scope, depth, or methodological design of the study. Manuscripts must follow APA 7th edition style.

All submissions undergo editorial screening before peer review. Manuscripts considered suitable for review are evaluated through a single-blind peer review process by independent reviewers. Reviewer identities remain confidential, while reviewers may have access to author information during the review process.

Peer Review Overview

Each manuscript is assessed for originality, methodological rigor, clarity, relevance, and contribution to sustainability, innovation, and impact. Reviews are conducted confidentially by independent experts. JSII aims to provide an initial editorial decision within 4 to 6 weeks after a manuscript is sent for peer review, subject to reviewer availability and manuscript complexity.
