If you do not receive this, please follow-up with an email inquiry to editor@jossonline.org. JoSS Staff will note whether your submission package is complete, including your cover letter, manuscript, Copyright Transfer Agreement, Permission Request Form (as appropriate), and AI Use Disclosure Form. If any elements are missing from your submission, Staff will remind you in the letter acknowledging receipt that your submission is not considered to be complete without them, and your submission will be held aside until the missing items are provided.   JoSS Staff will also perform a quick check of your paper’s formatting, especially for References, and will not proceed with Stage 2 unless your paper and References have been formatted and prepared as described in the Initial Submission Template. Preliminary screenings for topic scope, content, AI Use, and Plagiarism will also be conducted at this or the next Stage. If your submission does not meet JoSS formatting requirements, you will be notified about the need for changes in the letter acknowledging receipt, and your paper will be held aside until you re-submit a properly formatted manuscript. Stage 2: Identification and Securing of the Principal Parties to be Involved with Your Submission: the Technical Area Editor (TAE) and the Reviewers (2-4 weeks) Through JoSS Staff, the Editor-in-Chief (EiC), or their duly-appointed representative, invites an expert Technical Area Editor (TAE) from among the JoSS corps of TAEs to serve as the lead for identification of appropriate Peer Reviewers and for decisions related to your submission. The TAE also has the authority to determine whether a paper is appropriate in scope or ready for review in terms of originality, as well as completeness and thoroughness of its treatment of the topic, and may have JoSS Staff communicate to the Corresponding Author any such shortcoming and declining to accept the paper as written, before the review stage. Upon accepting the assignment, the TAE has the authority to decide that the paper is not appropriate for JoSS (because of subject matter scope issues), is not ready for peer review (because of incompleteness of its presentation), or is otherwise unsuitable for JoSS review and publication. If the EiC concurs, JoSS Staff communicates this decision as a “Request for Resubmission” to the Corresponding Author. Otherwise, the TAE identifies and recommends appropriate potential Peer Reviewers for the … Read more →https://jossonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/backtotop.gif
