Peer Review Process

An electronic script should be submitted for initial review by a referee of the journal. Neither the judgment fees nor the typed script are returned in case the article is not accepted for publication. For accepted articles, a script is returned with the correction recommendations made by the referee, and the final acceptance is given only after making all of the corrections, as the journal is using the double-blinded action in review.

The subscriber should return the corrected article in the form of one final typed script (signed by one of the first three authors) and as a Word format file at least 4 weeks before the date of the coming issue (the journal is issued three monthly), else publication will be delayed to the following issue.

Publication fees are due with the submission of the final copy. Authors should retain a further back-up copy of the script in case the submitted file is damaged during processing. The editors will make every effort to publish an accepted article, when submitted in time, in the first coming issue; however this might not be possible in all cases because of editing topic arrangements or expanded volume of publication material.

In this case, the subscriber is informed within one week of submission of the final copy and the publication fees (not the judgment fees) will be fully refunded if delay of publication is not accepted. For confidentiality, the journal will not pass any information regarding the submitted material except to the subscriber.
