Scope

Manuscripts submitted to JRSDS should be original work that has not been published previously, that is not currently under review elsewhere, and should not be submitted to or published in other journals at the time of submission in this journal. Confirmation of receipt for all manuscripts will be sent to the corresponding author prior to the editorial review.  All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editorial Board, for suitability and if found suitable are sent to two or more expert reviewers. If the submitted manuscript does not fit the scope of the Journal, the Editorial Board can reject the manuscript at this stage itself and the authors will be informed. During submission, authors are requested to provide details of three expert reviewers in the respective area in the covering letter. However, the selection of the reviewer is at the sole discretion of the Editorial Board. Comments of the reviewers are passed on to one of the Editorial Board members and the members take the final decision.

Reviewer comments and suggestions are conveyed to the authors, and authors are requested to submit a revised version of the manuscript within 30 days.  Accepted manuscripts are copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. It may not be possible to incorporate corrections received after the acceptance. After the final acceptance of a manuscript, the manuscript will be copyedited and returned to the authors for proofreading. Authors will have two weeks to look over the copyedited manuscript and make the requested changes. Grammar corrections and formatting can be done and no other additions of content or text can be made at this point.
