Fast-Track Editorial Process
The fast-track process refers to a more efficient editorial workflow, including administrative checking, editorial communication, layout preparation, and publication scheduling. It does not eliminate peer review, does not reduce academic standards, and does not guarantee acceptance.
At present, JKIH applies a single publication fee scheme through the fast-track editorial process. This policy is intended to maintain editorial efficiency, ensure consistency in publication management, and support the sustainability of the journal’s open-access publishing services.
All manuscripts remain subject to editorial screening, plagiarism checking, reviewer assessment, author revision, and final editorial decision. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s academic, ethical, or technical standards may be declined regardless of any publication fee policy.
