Process

All manuscripts are reviewed by two expert reviewers. The reviewers comment determines whether a paper will be accepted or rejected.  Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible, as the journal strives to return reviewers’ comments to authors within the shortest possible time. It is the goal of the NJPLS to publish manuscripts in the very next edition of the Journal after final submission.
