Journal of Data Acquisition and Processingemploys a "three-tier review system" for manuscript evaluation, consisting of an initial review by the editorial office, a double-blind peer review by experts, and a final review by the editorial board. All submissions are first subjected to an initial review by the editors to determine their suitability for the journal. Manuscripts deemed appropriate are then sent to at least two independent experts to assess their academic quality. For manuscripts passing peer review, the Editor-in-Chief and the editorial office periodically organize the editorial board members to conduct a final review, with the Editor-in-Chief making the final acceptance decision. The detailed process and related explanations are illustrated in the following diagram:
Additional Review Notes:
(1) The above review process applies to all submissions to Journal of Data Acquisition and Processing, including those submitted to supplementary and special issues. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for all content of the journal (including supplementary and special issues).
(2) For some special issues, the journal may invite experts in relevant fields to serve as guest editors to improve the academic quality and impact of the special issue. The activities of guest editors are supervised by the Editor-in-Chief and the editorial office to ensure the fairness of the review process.
(3) Submissions by the journal's editorial board members, reviewers, and guest editors also adhere to all the journal's review procedures. The reviews are conducted independently of the involved editorial board members/reviewers/guest editors and their research groups. Furthermore, these individuals are not allowed to participate in the review process of articles written by themselves, their family members, colleagues, or others with whom they have a conflict of interest.
