Acceptance
and publication of a paper or commentary in the International Journal for
Dialogical Science (IJDS) automatically leads to membership in the ISDS.
This policy has the advantage that membership is directly dependent on
the scientific and professional interest and qualities of the person
who submits a manuscript. Another advantage is that there is no
obligation to pay any dues. In this way the journal maintains an open
character with a simultaneous guarantee of the quality of its papers by
means of peer-review.
