Peer Review Process

All manuscripts are assigned to an editor for initial review and triage. Manuscripts that are immediately deemed inappropriate for the journal are rapidly rejected with comments from the assigned Editor.

All remaining manuscripts are sent out for peer review. Peer Review for JNS is single-blind and reviews are performed consecutively. We limit requesting reviews from only our dedicated Editorial Board or from a small group of specialized ad hoc reviewers, who have been personally vetted by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC). The EIC reviews all manuscripts along with the reviewers’ comments before making a final decision to accept the submission for publication.
