554Long-term digital archivingJ-STAGE preserves its full digital library, including JMJ, with Portico in a dark archive (see https:// www.portico.org/publishers/jstage/). In the event that the material becomes unavailable at J-STAGE, it will be released and made available by Portico.Peer Review ProcessEditorial and peer review processJMJ undertakes single-blind peer review. When a manuscript is submitted to the journal, it is assigned to the Editor-in-Chief, who performs initial screening. Manuscripts that do not fit the journalʼs scope or are not deemed suitable for publication are rejected without review. For peer reviewing, the manu-scripts that pass through the initial screening are assigned to two reviewers by the Editor-in- Chief. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, reputation and previous experience as peer reviewers. The deadline for submission of the reviewersʼ reports is basically 3 weeks.Upon receipt of the two reviewersʼ reports, the Editor-in-Chief makes the first decision on the manuscript. If the decision is to request revision of the manuscript, authors are requested to re-submit their revised manuscript within one to six months, depending on the comments of the reviewers. Revised manuscripts submitted after this deadline may be treated as new submissions. The Editor-in- Chief may send the revised manuscripts to peer reviewers for their feedback or may use his or her own judgment to assess how closely the authors have followed the Editor-in-Chiefʼs and the review-ersʼ comments on the original manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for making the final decision on each manuscript.If a manuscript satisfies the journalʼs requirements and represents a significant contribution to the published literature, the Editor-in-Chief may recommend acceptance for publication in JMJ. If a manuscript does not meet the journalʼs require-ments for acceptance, but it has a high probability of acceptance after minor or major revision, the Editor-in-Chief may ask the authors to revise it accordingly. Revised manuscripts must be submitted within one to six months, depending on the comments of the reviewers; otherwise they will be treated as new submissions. If a manuscript does not meet the journalʼs requirements for acceptance or revision, the Editor-in-Chief may recommend rejection.Reviewer selection, timing and suggestionsReviewers are selected without regard to geog-raphy and need not belong to the journalʼs Editorial Board. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the field, reputation, recommendation by others, and/or previous experience as peer reviewers for the journal.Reviewers are invited within 2 weeks of an article being submitted. Reviewers are asked to submit their first review within 3 weeks of accepting the invitation to review. Reviewers who anticipate any delays should inform the Editorial Office as soon as possible.When submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors may suggest reviewers that they would like included in the peer review process. The Editor may consider these suggestions but is under no obligation to follow them. The selection, invitation and assignment of peer reviewers is at the Editorʼs sole discretion.Reviewer reportsIt is the journalʼs policy to transmit reviewersʼ comments to the authors in their original form. However, the journal reserves the right to edit reviewersʼ comments, without consulting the reviewers, if they contain offensive language, confi-dential information or recommendations for publi-cation.Acceptance criteriaIf a manuscript satisfies the journalʼs requirements and represents a valuable contribution to the published literature, the Editor-in-Chief may recommend the acceptance for publication in JMJ.
