JSPS is a triannual, open access, peer-reviewed, and international e-journal. We accept unpublished, high-quality, and original research manuscripts in English. All research articles appearing in JSPS have undergone a thorough blind peer-review process.
JSPS will not accept research articles or manuscripts submitted for publication elsewhere.
JSPS does not publish book reviews, program evaluations, or research articles merely describing programs, courses, or personal experiences. All research articles submitted must be written in English.
Peer Review Process
Research articles or manuscripts submitted to JSPS are initially reviewed by the editors for general fit with the JSPS focus and scope and for writing quality. Only manuscripts meeting the JSPS focus and scope will be sent to reviewers for a double-blind review. Two reviewers are assigned to evaluate the manuscript based on their expertise, and a third reviewer may be appointed in case of disagreement on manuscript quality. Reviewers evaluate manuscripts using a standard evaluation form and are required to treat all information as confidential. The final decision on publication always belongs to the JSPS editors, among these possibilities: Accept without revisions, Accept with minor revisions, Accept with major revisions, or Reject.
