Review Process:
The JASP operates a single-blind review process. All submitted manuscripts will be initially assessed by the editor-in-chief for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of three independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The editor-in-chief is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. 

Plagiarism Policy:
The JASP checks the plagiarism of the submitted manuscript by a plagiarism checker software (Sinaweb Hamyab) before the peer-review process. However, if the plagiarism of a manuscript is proved after publication, the JASP can reject the paper. According to the JASP policies, the similarity of the submitted manuscript should be less than 20 percent. Plagiarism can take several forms, including but not limited to:
  • Using the exact words of another author in part of a paper without both citation and quotation marks;
  • Including the paraphrased or summarized idea of another author without acknowledging its source;
  • Cutting and pasting material from Internet or other electronic resources without proper citation of sources;
  • Submitting for credit a complete paper or portion of a paper written by another author, no matter whether the paper was purchased, shared freely, stolen, found, or acquired by other means;
  • Accepting credit for a project, multimedia presentation, poster, or other assignments that draw dishonestly on the work of others;
  • Accepting excessive assistance from another person in writing a paper without informing readers of the nature and extent of that collaboration;
  • Submitting music, drawings, paintings, sculptures, or photographs that copy or rely closely on the work of other artists, without explicitly citing the original source;
  • Writing a computer program that is the same or closely similar to existing sources.
 
Article processing charges (APC):

All articles published in our journal are open access and freely available online, immediately upon publication. Currently, JASP does not request APC or publication fee. Nor does JASP charge per pages or for any other items for which other publishers are known to charge. Therefore, JASP is free Open Access to both authors and readers.

 
Revenue Sources:
The JASP currently has zero paid members of staff (i.e., run on totally voluntary efforts), and with zero income/ funding from any source (including from a publisher). 
 
Website Archiving:
All of our electronic contents (website, manuscripts, etc.) are stored on an online server as well as a offline source (as a backup). 

Abstracting/Indexing Services:
Our journal’s Abstracting/Indexing services store many essential information about the published articles. In fact, some of our journal’s Abstracting/Indexing services, e.g., DOAJ, MAGIRAN, CIVILICA, ... (see the Indexing and Abstracting section of the website for more information) archive not only the metadata about the article, but also the electronic versions of the articles. Hence, copies of the articles are available to the scientific community through their systems as an alternative to the journals own.
 
Copyright and Self-Archiving Policy:
JASP holds the copyright of the published articles. Users have the right to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles under the terms and the conditions of CC BY-NC 4.0 license. Therefore, authors who submit their manuscript in JASP can share their research at any time for any non-commercial use on their personal or non-commercial institution's website.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication:
The authors should not publish a manuscript in more than one journal or primary publication. According to the JASP policies, the publication as an academic thesis or an abstract is not considered as work as prior publication.
