What Information We Collect
- Registration and account information — name, email address, affiliation, and country, provided when registering an account as an author, reviewer, or reader
- Submission data — manuscripts, author details, and related metadata submitted through the online submission system
- Usage data — website usage statistics, such as page views and article downloads, collected in accordance with the journal's configured statistics settings (currently limited to country-level geographic data, with no more granular tracking)
- Communication records — correspondence sent to the editorial office, including emails to support@jmisip.com
How We Use This Information
Information collected through this site is used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal — specifically, managing the submission, peer review, editorial, and publication process, and for essential related communications such as decision notifications, requests for revision, and publication confirmations. This information will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party, without explicit consent, except where required by law.
- Reviewer and editor identities are kept confidential from authors, in accordance with the journal's double-anonymized peer review process.
- Author identities are similarly concealed from reviewers throughout the review process.
- Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics (for example, total article downloads or country-level readership) may be published or shared publicly, such as in an annual report, but will never identify individual readers.
