1.Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted via the e-submission system available from: https://www.jdre.org/author/submission. If any authors have difficulty in submitting via e-submission system, please send manuscripts to idaos@daejin.ac.kr

2. Peer Review Process

JDTREA reviews all manuscripts received. A manuscript is first reviewed for its format and adherence to the aims and scope of the journal. If the manuscript meets these two criteria, it is checked for plagiarism or duplicate publication with a similarity check. After confirming the results, the manuscript is dispatched to three investigators in the field with relevant knowledge. After the manuscript is sent to reviewers, JDTREA waits to receive opinions from at least two reviewers. In addition, if deemed necessary, a review of statistics may be requested. The authors’ names and affiliations are removed during peer review (double-blind peer review). The acceptance criteria for all papers are based on the quality and originality of the research and its scientific significance. Acceptance of the manuscript is decided based on the critiques and recommended decisions of the reviewers. An initial decision will normally be made within 4 weeks of receipt of a manuscript, and the reviewers’ comments are sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. The corresponding author must indicate the alterations that have been made in response to the reviewers’ comments item by item. Failure to resubmit the revised manuscript within 4 weeks of the editorial decision is regarded as a withdrawal. If further revision period is required, author should contact the editorial office through the following link: https://www.jdre.org/info/contact. A final decision on acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is forwarded to the corresponding author by the editor.

3 Peer Review Process for Handling Submissions from Editors, Employees, or Members of the Editorial Board

All manuscripts from editors, employees, or members of the editorial board are processed same as other unsolicited manuscripts. During the review process, submitters will not engage in the selection of reviewers or decision process. Editors will not handle their own manuscripts even if they are commissioned.
