Peer Review Process

IJSSER To maintain the quality of the content and academic standards, JISSER follows the double-blind peer-review process. We accept the manuscript through online submission to OJS, which helps us make the review process easy and fast. Manuscripts are initially examined by the editorial staff and are sent by the Editor-in-Chief, who will occasionally seek advice from two outside reviewers with specific expertise. If they find a severe ethical or significant issue in the submission, IJSSER's editor will decline. Read our full peer review process.
