Peer Review
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees. Articles in which the initial decision is to revise and resubmit are returned to one or both of the original referees. Final publication decisions rest with the three IFjP Editors (two of whom must be in agreement in cases where articles are rejected).
