JIRS Editorial, 3rd Quarter 2025

The 3rd issue of 2025 has been completed!Time flies; indeed.We are entering the last quarter of 2025, a year that is passing so fast.We continue to observe a very healthy number of submissions after the 'switch' of JIRS to a peer review Open Access publication.However, submissions remain 'controversial', as also reported in the previous Editorial, in terms of content, quality and novelty.Still, about 20% of submitted papers get accepted, while the vast majority receive negative comments.Times have changed; the review process is very rigorous and detailed, and several checks are done before a paper is sent out for review.
