Reviews
This section is mainly for reviews of new books relevant to the areas covered by JOSPA. Reviews can also cover other areas, such as relevant Software, computer packages and, where appropriate, conference/workshops. The format for reviews should be discussed with the Editor.
REPEAT OF EXPERIMENTS AND ANALYSIS
Papers that report original research should only be submitted if the experiments have been repeated at least twice, with a minimum of three replications per experiment. Appropriate statistical analysis is required. Exceptions may be made to these requirements if they are justifiable. The final decision rests with JOSPA.
