General information

Manuscripts are accepted for consideration by the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics (JRM) with the understanding that they represent original material, have not been published previously, are not being considered for publication elsewhere, and have been approved by each author.

The following types of JRM contributions are peer-reviewed:

Papers
Reviews
Development Reports
Letters
Notes
Discussion

All forms of published corrections may also be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the editors.

About peer-review process

When authors submit papers electronically to robot@fujipress.jp, the editorial staff sends an acknowledgment of the paper's receipt – usually within about one week. Those receiving no acknowledgment within 10 days are requested to contact the editorial office immediately.

All submitted manuscripts are sent to two anonymous referees who evaluate them for originality, validity, novelty, methodology, correct citation of relevant work, and the importance of content and conclusions.

The time required for review depends on referee response -- usually within about two months. In rare cases taking a few weeks longer, it may have been difficult to find a second referee.

When reviews are completed, authors receive referee's comments and a decision of acceptance, conditional acceptance with minor revisions, revision and resubmission due to the need for major revisions, or nonacceptance.

Revised manuscripts are returned to initial referees, who may request further revision. Once referees receive and confirm papers, they make a final decision on acceptance or nonacceptance. This decision is then reported to authors.
