Author Guidelines

Copyright

Submitting a manuscript to a journal implies that the work has not previously been published in any other journal, printed or online (save as an abstract or an academic thesis), and that it is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere.

Waiver Policy

Manuscript submission and publishing are both free of charge. There are no article processing or submission fees.

Plagiarism Policy

Manuscripts should be reviewed for plagiarism before submission, and no more than 19% of the content should be plagiarized. The editorial board also examines papers for plagiarism, and if more than 19% is detected, the authors are contacted and requested to change the manuscript's content.

Peer-Review Process

All articles submitted for publication are subjected to double-blind peer review by, generally three, neutral distinguished scholars; one is an editorial board member and the other two are external reviewers. Throughout the review process, both the reviewer and author identities are shielded from the reviewers, and vice versa. This assures that the reviewers' assessments of the article are free of bias. The evaluation procedure might take up to 45 days. Decisions will be made as soon as feasible, and reviewer(s) comments will be forwarded to the author for revision.

After reviewing the opinions of the external evaluators, the Editor-in-Chief may suggest the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript, or he/she may seek assistance and advice from additional experts in the area, if necessary. Following review of the article by at least two independent experts, as well as the Editor's assessment, a decision is conveyed to the authors, could be: Accept without modifications, (ii) Revisions recommended, or (iii) Reject.

Covering Letter

The manuscript should be accompanied by a Covering letter signed by corresponding and co-authors.

Author’s Under taking

The manuscript should be accompanied by a undertaking form dull filled with all authors with detailed author contributions mentioned.
