Paper Selection and Publication Process
Step 1: Submission Acknowledgement
If you submit your manuscript either online or through the journal email, you will receive an email of confirmation from the editorial assistants within 1-2 working days.
Step 2: Basic Review
The editor or editorial assistant determines whether a manuscript fits the journal’s aim and scope. Then, the manuscript is checked for its similarity index by CrossCheck, powered by iThenticate.
Step 3: Peer review
We use double-blind system for peer-review. Both reviewers and authors’ identities remain anonymous. A manuscript will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts: one editorial staff and two external reviewers. The review process may take 2-3 weeks.
Step 4: Acceptance/Rejection Decision
The decision to accept or reject a manuscript is based on suggestions of reviewers. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor-in-chief will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or a second round of peer review may be initiated.
Step 5: Notification of the result of review to the corresponding authors by E-mail.
Step 6: Revision and Payment of publication fee (200USD)
The authors are asked to make revisions based on comments from both the editorial board and external reviewers. Then, they should pay a publication fee for the accepted manuscripts.
Step 7: Online Version First Publication and Printed Publication
Manuscripts will be shortly published online upon completion of revision and payment of publication fee. Printed version will be published in the scheduled volume and issue.
Step 8: Post-publication
Online PDF version of a manuscript is free to access and download. After publication of the printed journals, two hard copies of the journals will be sent to the corresponding author.
