Article Selection and Publication Process

1. Article submission

Upon receipt of article submission, the journal's system sends an email of confirmation to the corresponding author. If you fail to receive this confirmation, your submission/email may be missed. The author should pay no submission charge at this stage.

2. Peer Review Process

Initial Review

The editor evaluates the submitted manuscript to determine if the content is suitable for the journal. The manuscript is also subjected to a similarity check procedure to identify any indication of plagiarism. Manuscripts with contents that are not suitable for the journal or with a high percentage of similarity will be returned immediately to the author(s).

Peer Review

Submitted manuscripts that have passed the initial review are subjected to double-blind review, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review process. Minimum of two reviewers are assigned to evaluate and provide the recommendation for a manuscript.

Decision

The editor makes the final decision on the acceptability of a manuscript based on the comments and recommendation of the reviewers.

3. Notification of the result of review is by e-mail.

4. The authors revise the paper according to the feedback and suggestions of reviewers. Upon acceptance, a publication fee is to be paid by the author to the journal. The publication fee is accessible in the section of Author Fees.

5. After publication, the corresponding author will receive an email notification on the e-journal in PDF that is available on the journal’s webpage, and free of charge for download.

6. It normally takes about 6 months to 1 year from submission to publication, with an average of 7 months.
