Peer Review Process

In ICDS journal, the review procedure is double-blind. The editor will first determine whether each submission is appropriate for the journal. Papers that are judged appropriate are subsequently sent to at least two independent, experienced reviewers who will evaluate the paper's scientific merit. The editor is in charge of making the final determination regarding whether or not an article will be accepted. The editor's choice is binding.

More details on manuscript preparation: It is crucial that the file is saved in the word processor's native format, such as Word or LaTeX. The text should be set in a single column. Keep the text formatting as straightforward as possible. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to hyphenate words or justify text. However, you are free to use boldface, italics, subscripts, and superscripts. When preparing tables, use only one grid for each table, not one for each row. Use tabs rather than spaces to align columns if a grid is not used. The preparation of the electronic text should be fairly comparable to that of traditional manuscripts.
