Publication Workflow

1. Submission: Authors upload the manuscript, metadata, supplementary files, and signed copyright transfer form through OJS.
2. Editorial screening: The editorial team checks scope, language, formatting, similarity, ethics, authorship, and required documents.
3. Peer review: Manuscripts that pass screening are sent for peer review, and authors may be asked to revise their work.
4. Editorial decision: The editor issues a decision based on reviewer reports, revisions, and journal policy.
5. Production: Accepted manuscripts are prepared for publication, checked for metadata accuracy, assigned final publication details, and archived in OJS.
6. Publication: The final article is published open access under CC BY 4.0 and becomes available through the journal website and OJS archive.

JEMUR may request clarification, documentation, correction, or disclosure at any stage of editorial review if authorship, ethics, originality, AI use, or rights ownership require verification.
