Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts in MS Word format to the editor-in-chief, Eric Monteiro. If authors are unsure about the suitability of their manuscript for the SJIS, authors are welcome to discuss their papers with any of the members of the editorial board before formal submission.

Once a paper is submitted, one of the four members of the editorial board will be assigned by the editor-in-chief to act as the editor of the manuscript. The reviewing process is double-blind in the sense that the authors and reviewers are anonymous to each other. The SJIS are committed to produce high quality review reports that serve two purposes. First, it provides a means for evaluating manuscripts with respect to their publication in the journal. Second, it provides substantive feedback to authors to assist them in improving their work.

After the review, the assigned editor and the editor-in-chief will arrive at a decision whether to publish the manuscript or not, or under which conditions the manuscript may later be published. The policy of the journal is that the reviewing process should take no longer than eight weeks from the date of submission.
