Paper Submission process

DIEM papers are reviewed using a ‘double-blind’ process where identity of neither authors or reviewers is revealed. Authors need to submit two versions of their papers, a ‘full’ one which will be seen only by the handling Editor, and a ‘blinded’ version in which the names and addresses of authors have been removed and any identifying references have been suitably anonymised (the version sent to reviewers).

Submitted papers are first considered by the Editor to whom they were submitted. Papers that do not fall within the scope of DIEM are ‘desk-rejected’. (Those that are borderline may be sent to the member of DIEM Editorial Board who is a specialist on that topic for advice.)

Papers that, while they address DIEM issue, do so in a manner that is more appropriate for publication in other disciplinary journal, may also be desk-rejected (again following specialist advice from an member of DIEM Editorial Board). In addition, papers that fail to meet a minimum threshold for quality and originality will be rejected without being sent out to reviewers.

Papers passing through this initial editorial scrutiny are then typically sent out to two reviewers. If one or more of these turns down the invitation to provide a review, other reviewers will subsequently be appointed. Normally, at least two authoritative reviews are needed before the handling Editor can make a decision as to whether to accept, reject, or ask for a ‘revise and resubmit’ of the submitted paper.

When returning the paper with the accepted reviewer’s suggestions, the authors also have to submit a cover letter stating the changes that have been made in the paper with the page number.

DIEM is published once a year since 2019. The papers must be submitted according to the invitation letter of the DIEM Conference Organizing Committee.
