Peer Review Process

Jambura Arena Sport (JAS) implements a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the scientific quality, originality, and integrity of all submitted manuscripts.

All submissions undergo an initial editorial screening (desk review) to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, novelty, and compliance with author guidelines. At this stage, manuscripts are also subject to a similarity check using plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin). Manuscripts with a high level of similarity may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on the following criteria:

  • Originality and scientific contribution
  • Methodological rigor and validity
  • Depth of analysis and discussion
  • Clarity and quality of academic writing
  • Relevance to the field of sport science

The review process follows the principles of objectivity, confidentiality, and absence of conflicts of interest. Based on reviewers’ recommendations (accepted, minor revision, major revision, or rejected), the editor makes the final decision.

The average review process takes 3–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the manuscript. Additional reviewers may be assigned if necessary to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

Reviewers are selected based on their academic expertise, publication record, and professional integrity, and are drawn from diverse institutions to maintain an unbiased review process.

The journal adheres to international publication ethics standards, following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
