Review process
JURA* is a double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal.
All submitted papers enter a first editorial evaluation followed by a peer-review.
The peer-review process respects the originality of the research papers, but it includes changes based on the reviewers' observations in order to preserve the high scientific quality of the publication.
The two scientific reviewers are appointed to each paper so that to simultaneously fulfill all these aspects: they have expertise in the same field of research and area of specialisation; they have specific or general knowledge on the case study area; they have no collaboration with the paper authors in the last 10 years.
The review process includes the following stages:
1. An initial editorial screening of the topic suitability and paper originality (up to one month).
2. In case of acceptance, the paper is sent for external evaluation to two scientific reviewers (up to 3 months).
3. After the final revision of the paper, if the peer-review is positive, the paper enters an English proofreading process and the editing for publication (up to 2 months).
4. After its final acceptance, done by the Editorial team based on the independent consent of the two reviewers, the paper publication takes place in one of the following two issues of JURA (up to one year).
In the view of a second paper submission by the same author/s, each JURA published paper enters a post-publication evaluation considering its citing in other Clarivate Web of Science publications. So that, citing their previously published JURA papers in other Clarivate Web of Science journals is one of the conditions for the same author/s to be considered again for publication in JURA.
