Review Topic and Methodological Areas

To facilitate the review process, authors must indicate appropriate review key words for their papers to identify the topic their manuscripts address, and the method they utilize.  It is important to choose appropriate key words since these may be used in the selection of reviewers and associate editors.

 

Understand the Review Process

Each manuscript submitted to the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education is subjected to the following reviewing process:

1.     An initial screening by the Editor to determine the suitability of the article for the Journal. Suitable articles are assigned to an Associate Editor, according to their functional and methodological content. If the manuscript is deemed inappropriate for the journal because it is not a match for the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education's audience or mission, it will be promptly returned to the author.  Based on the AE’s recommendation, the article is assigned to two or three reviewers.

2.     A careful review by the referees, each of whom makes a recommendation to the Associate Editor/ Editor and provides comments for the authors.

3.     An appraisal of the review by the Associate Editor who makes a recommendation to the Editor. If the Editor feels the paper has potential for publication, the author is invited to make revisions, according to the suggestions of the AE and reviewers. If major revisions, minor revisions, or reject decisions are appropriate, the editor will inform the author(s) and provide them with feedback from the reviews.

4.     Upon receipt of the revisions, the Editor will make a final decision. The Editor will appraise the entire review process, making sure that all revisions suggested by the referees have been addressed.  In the case of major revisions, the article will be sent through the review process again..

The Editor reserves the right to deviate from the above procedures when the situation warrants and as it is deemed appropriate.
