Papers that are found to be plagiarised or double-submitted will be rejected, and the Editors may inform the author’s institution of the matter. Manuscripts should be 5,000 to 6,000 words, or no more than 20 double-spaced pages, including references. Editorial style follows the JSS Style Guide (2024).
The JSS follows the guidelines of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding such matters (see http://www.publicationsethics.org).
