JGE offers flexible submission channels designed to accommodate diverse author preferences while maintaining rigorous quality standards. Our streamlined processes ensure rapid evaluation without compromising scientific integrity.
Manuscript Submission
Authors can submit via the online submission form, through Manuscript Zone platform, or via email. All submissions receive acknowledgment within 72 hours.
Initial Editorial Screening
Editors assess scope alignment, novelty, methodological soundness, and ethical compliance. Authors receive preliminary decisions within 5-7 business days.
Peer Review Process
Manuscripts undergo rigorous single-blind peer review by subject experts. Reviewers evaluate scientific validity, reproducibility, significance, and clarity while providing constructive feedback.
Revision & Final Decision
Authors address reviewer comments through point-by-point responses. Revised manuscripts are re-evaluated, and final acceptance decisions are communicated promptly.
Production & Publication
Accepted articles undergo copyediting, author proof approval, DOI assignment, and immediate online publication with full open access visibility.
Transparent Timeline Commitment: JGE maintains competitive review timelines with median time-to-first-decision of 3-4 weeks and acceptance-to-publication turnaround of 5-7 days. Authors receive regular status updates throughout the process.
JGE operates under a robust governance framework that defines clear responsibilities for all stakeholders while upholding the highest standards of publication ethics aligned with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.
Author Responsibilities
Authors must conduct original research with methodological rigor, report findings accurately without fabrication or falsification, ensure proper attribution through citations, disclose conflicts of interest, obtain necessary ethical approvals, provide data access for verification, and respond professionally to reviewer feedback. Submissions must be free from plagiarism and duplicate publication. For detailed guidance, consult our Instructions for Authors.
Editor Responsibilities
The Editorial Board oversees peer review integrity, ensures fair evaluation based on scientific merit regardless of author origin or institutional affiliation, maintains confidentiality, manages conflicts of interest, makes timely decisions, addresses ethical concerns, and upholds journal standards. Editors commit to transparency in decision-making and continuous improvement of editorial processes.
Reviewer Responsibilities
Reviewers provide expert evaluation of manuscript quality, scientific validity, and significance.
