JHNS determines policies related to cooperation with conferences as follows

1) JHNS only accepts conference collaborations with publishers from universities after considering many aspects. This is to anticipate the presence of predatory conferences or similar ones.

2) Collaboration with JHNS does not guarantee that the article will be accepted for publication. All potentially topical articles will still undergo a peer-review process according to JHNS's standard timeframe of 3-5 weeks.

3) JHNS will not help promote the conference. However, once the collaboration is approved by the JHNS Editor-in-Chief, the conference organizers can state "all potential articles will be published in JHNS," subject to the terms mentioned in point 2.

4) JHNS does not publish proceedings articles already published in full text or even just the title and abstract. This is to avoid duplicate publication.

5) JHNS does not provide a quota for articles to be accepted from the conference. All submitted articles will be reviewed per the policy mentioned in point 2.

6) JHNS will not publish special issues from any conferences. All accepted articles, after undergoing review, will be included in a regular issue according to the timeline set by JHNS.

7) The Article Processing Charge (APC) for articles accepted for publication from the conference will be the same. There will be no difference in APC compared to regular articles, neither discounted nor increased.

8) A Letter of Acceptance will be provided to the author from the conference after the article has been accepted in accordance with the policy mentioned in point 2.

9) JHNS suggests that authors should not be limited to a single country, but rather include authors from two or more countries to increase author diversity in JHNS.

10) Upon acceptance, the Editor-in-Chief will review references and discourage excessive self-citation of JHNS articles if they are not topically relevant. For relevant topics, authors may be encouraged to cite other sources unless JHNS articles are the primary relevant works, which would require discussion with the Editor-in-Chief.
