About

JeSLIB publishes articles as they become available for publication, following a thorough review process. Articles are collected together into issues throughout the year, with occasional special issues. We have published 183 articles across 22 issues. JeSLIB accepts traditional articles such as full-length research papers, commentaries, and reviews. Our "eScience in Action" category encourages short, focused, and innovative projects, and "Video Articles" allow authors to present their work using multi-media. We have published 86 Full-Length Papers.

Speed

JeSLIB is configured for two reviewers per article with 20 days for review. We utilize an anonymous peer review process, which means that the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. The average timeline for publication is 64 days from initial submission to acceptance, and 135 days from acceptance to final publication.
