Peer Review Process
JARTS typically seeks two peer reviews per manuscript submission. In cases of conflict between those two reviews, a third opinion or that of one of the editors may be sought. In some cases, the editors may decide to return manuscripts to authors prior to review with preliminary comments designed to improve the manuscript's chances of eventual acceptance.
Publication Frequency
Journal items published continuously, ahead of print, after final proof of the authors by adding them as part of an issue to the "current" volume's Table of Contents. JARTS is published as two issues per year, also as printed publication (June and December).
Open Access Policy
