The Journal of Decision Support Systems and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (JODESMA) implements a double-blind peer review system to ensure the quality, integrity, objectivity, and academic rigor of all published articles. This review system is designed to provide a fair and impartial evaluation of submitted manuscripts based on their originality, scientific contribution, methodological soundness, relevance to the journal's aims and scope, and overall academic quality. Under this system, the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed from one another throughout the peer review process to minimize potential bias and support objective scholarly assessment.

The double-blind peer review process is an essential component of the commitment of Journal of Decision Support Systems and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (JODESMA) to maintaining high standards of scholarly publishing. Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts independently, critically, and constructively, providing recommendations that assist the editorial team in making informed publication decisions. Authors are likewise expected to ensure that their manuscripts comply with the journal's submission requirements and do not contain identifying information that could compromise the anonymity of the review process. The editorial team is responsible for facilitating the review process, safeguarding confidential information, and ensuring that editorial decisions are based on the scholarly merit of the submitted work.

To preserve the confidentiality, impartiality, and integrity of the peer review process, the Journal of Decision Support Systems and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (JODESMA) does not publicly disclose the list of reviewers on its website. This policy is intended to protect reviewer anonymity, prevent potential conflicts or external influences, and allow reviewers to provide independent and objective assessments without undue pressure. The identities of reviewers and any confidential information obtained during manuscript evaluation are handled with due care and are not disclosed beyond what is necessary for the proper administration of the editorial process.

Journal of Decision Support Systems and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (JODESMA) recognizes the important contribution of reviewers to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the maintenance of publication quality. Their critical assessments help authors improve the clarity, validity, and scholarly contribution of their manuscripts while assisting the editorial team in determining their suitability for publication. Reviewer participation is therefore an important part of the journal's quality assurance process.

Reviewer confidentiality remains a fundamental principle of the double-blind peer review policy of Journal of Decision Support Systems and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (JODESMA). By implementing this policy consistently, the journal seeks to foster a professional, transparent, fair, and ethical publication environment that supports the credibility of research in decision support systems, multi-criteria decision making, and related fields.
