Peer Review Process

The submission are peer reviewed by using standard review procedure.

Single Blind Review Process: The reviewers will have access to submitted files and provide feedback within the assigned time.


Editors will email selected Reviewers the title and abstract of the submission, as well as an invitation to log into the journal web site to complete the review. Reviewers enter the journal web site to agree to do the review, to download submissions, submit their comments, and select a recommendation.

Average time from submission to first decision is 4-6 weeks.

Frequency

Currently, the journal publishes four issues per year with continuous processing and publication of submissions (by As We Go model).

Journal publishes four issues per year volume.

Continuous publishing: The articles are published on 'As we go' process, means as and when article is ready for publication after due processing (reviewing+copyediting+layout+galley proofing), the article would be published with  assigning to ongoing/current issue.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The article processing fee details have been mentioned on the APC page.

Archiving

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. More...

About JIST

The Journal of Integrated Science and Technology is a multidisciplinary venue for discoveries in materials science, pharmaceutical science, nanoscience, sciences, environmental science, and engineering & technology. The JIST:

  • would get high Impact by wide circulation and indexing in different scientific content databases.
  • provides open access to all of its research articles (Gold open access),
  • would deposit published research articles in different databases.
  • is an ideal home for authors seeking the broadest audience for their most important work.

The journal is led by Editor and an Editorial Board of peer scientists whose depth and experience ensure fair and competent peer review.

Sending your work to the JIST

The journal considers research submissions in several categories. The JIST receives submissions only through its website; submissions by mail or e-mail will be returned.

Do you have a question about a manuscript you've already submitted?

  • When a manuscript is received and confirmed by the JIST, an acknowledgment is sent via e-mail to the corresponding author. For any communication with us, please reference the tracking number assigned by the JIST noted in the acknowledgment.
  • In order to avoid confusion regarding correspondence, inquiries, and decisions, the JIST will typically communicate only with those who are designated as corresponding authors during the submission process.

Copyright/Content Access: The Journal publishes articles with 'Gold Open Access' with content copyright retained by authors and reproduction copyright assigned to publisher ScienceIN Publishing.

Unique IDs for Articles: The journal is currently using URN number for the published articles (however, this is currently meant for internal use by journal). The journal will process the assigning of DOI (Digital Object Indentifier) to articles (including previously published ones) once the journal is indexed in Web of Science (Clarivate) as it help in providing the correct citations records for the published articles.

Manuscript submitted and processed for reviewing can't be withdrawn. If authors donot respond to emails for the reviewed and accepted manuscript, then the article will be published by the journal in as such format with a retraction note 'withdrawn by authors' by no response.

Publisher

The Publisher ‘ScienceIn’ handles the unethical publishing cases. In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication or plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and to amend the article in question.
