Data Validity

DATA VALIDITY 
 
By default, PJCD accepts manuscripts for publication consideration whose end date of data collection falls within the last five (5) years from the date of submission. 
 
For studies that are older than the set validity period, a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief can be made. Consideration for the use of old data may be given if any of these conditions exist: (a) when examining a past event, (b) when recent data is not available, or (c) when data collection was exceedingly difficult. 
 
For pre-submission inquiries, contact the Editor-in-Chief.
