The submission policy
All manuscripts submitted to JSDIO must be original and not under consideration by any other journal or publication. Submitting the same, or a substantially similar, manuscript to multiple outlets concurrently is considered unethical and is strictly prohibited.
The journal's submission policy requires that the work has not been previously published, is not currently in press, and is not under review elsewhere. If simultaneous or duplicate submission is identified by an external publisher—we reserve the right to reject the manuscript without further review. Such cases will be subject to investigation to determine whether a breach of submission ethics has occurred, in accordance with established editorial and ethical standards.
