Review Process

The implementation of a double-blind peer review is to guarantee that only respectable knowledge is published in the Journal. It is an objective procedure at the core of noble scholarly publication and is carried out by all reputable scientific journals. Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed in the manner customary with scientific journals before being accepted for publication. Upon receiving a manuscript, the Managing Editor and/or the Associate editor will examine whether the manuscript is out of the Journal’s scope or does not meet the basic criteria for a journal article, it will be immediately rejected without further review (please note that this process may take time to complete due to a large number of submissions). Other members of the Editorial Board may be consulted by the Editor when in doubt. Otherwise, the Editor-in-Chief will solicit reviews from three external referees. In this case, both the Authors' and Reviewers' names and affiliations are not disclosed during the review process. Based on the reviews, the Editor will make the decision on manuscript acceptance, or solicit additional reviews if the decision is unclear. 

The review consists of 6 components: (1) originality, (2) technical soundness, (3) significance, (4) clarity of presentation, including the style and language, (5) relevance to the JITC journal, and (6) length (relative to the useful contents of the paper).
