Peer Review Process
Each article will be reviewed by at least two reviewers according to the scope of the journal. The review process is carried out by the Double-Blind Review Process.
The time allowed for the review process is two weeks starting from the article sent to the reviewer. The editorial team will determine whether the article was accepted or not based on the results of the review from reviewers.
Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses.
The suggested decision will be evaluated in an editorial board meeting. Afterwards, the editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.
Review Outcomes
Utilizing feedback from the peer review process, the Editor will make a final publication decision Decisions categories include:
- Reject - Rejected manuscripts will not be published and authors will not have the opportunity to resubmit a revised version of the manuscript to SIMPLE.
- Resubmit for Review - The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, may be accepted. However, It will require a second round of review.
- Accept with Revisions - Manuscripts receiving an accept-pending-revisions decision will be published in SIMPLE under the condition that minor/major modifications are made. Revisions will be reviewed by an editor to ensure necessary updates are made prior to publication.
- Accept - Accepted manuscripts will be published in the current form with no further modifications required.
Correspondence
All correspondence concerning manuscripts should be directed to the Editor of SIMPLE. The Editor will direct all correspondence to the lead author; the lead author is responsible for sharing communications with other authors. Beyond communication concerning the review, manuscripts accepted for publication may require additional correspondence to complete copyediting and layout editing.
For authors who want to submit a publication text, please pay attention to the following rules:
- That article is not plagiarism from other people's work.
- The article submitted has never been published and has not been considered for publication in another journal.
- Articles must be submitted in accordance with the JOURNAL SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING LETTERS template.
