Interdisciplinary work
JRISA welcomes interdisciplinary work and does not require manuscripts to fit neatly within a single academic discipline. The journal is especially interested in work that demonstrates thoughtful inquiry and appropriate scholarly practice, including research that is exploratory, preliminary, replicative, applied, educational, or interdisciplinary.
What JRISA does not publish
- manuscripts containing fabricated or falsified data
- plagiarized work
- manuscripts containing unverifiable or systematically inaccurate references
- previously published manuscripts presented as original work
- submissions created primarily through automated generation without meaningful author contribution and verification
- research that does not comply with applicable ethical requirements
- promotional or advertising content presented as research
- unsupported medical or clinical advice
- manuscripts without a meaningful scholarly purpose
- classroom assignments submitted without sufficient development into a scholarly manuscript
A classroom paper or student project may be suitable for JRISA if it has been substantially developed into an academically structured manuscript appropriate for publication.
