Peer Review Process

JDTL is a peer-reviewed journal. Every submission, whether through a public call or by recommendation for publication, is initially reviewed by at least one of the editors. If, upon initial review, the submission is deemed acceptable for the journal, it is sent to at least two reviewers chosen from the editorial board for a thorough evaluation. As part of the preliminary checks, each article is subjected to plagiarism detection.

The selection of reviewers for each submission is the responsibility of the editorial team and takes into account various factors, including experience, expertise, recommendations from authors or other editors, and the handling of any prior reviews.

The peer-review method used is “double-blind,” meaning that the author does not know the identity of the reviewers, and likewise, the reviewers do not know the identity of the author whose work they are evaluating.

The goal of the review is to provide authors with informed and well-reasoned feedback on the quality of their submission. Reviews should also offer guidance on how authors can improve their contributions to ensure publication.

The journal is published semi-annually with a continuous publication model. Special issues may occasionally be published outside the regular schedule.
