Manuscript Submission

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after I submit my paper?

An editor reads the manuscript first to check that it fits the scope and meets a minimum quality level. If it does, the paper is sent to two independent reviewers under a double-blind process.

Do I have to pay anything to submit?

No. There is no article submission fee. An article processing charge applies only after a paper is accepted: 2500 INR for Indian authors and 55 USD for international authors.

How should the manuscript be prepared before submitting?

Use MS-Word (.doc or .docx) in English, Times New Roman size 12, single line spacing, one column, with one inch margins. Full requirements are on the instructions to author page.

How long does the review take and what if revisions are asked?

Reviewer comments are sent to the corresponding author, who should return the revised manuscript within one week. The revision goes back to the reviewers before the Subject Editor takes the final decision.

Will my published article get a DOI?

Yes. Published articles are registered with Crossref under the journal's DOI prefix 10.33545/2664844X, which gives each paper a permanent, citable link.

Under which licence will my article be published?

Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) 4.0 licence. Authors keep the copyright of their work; commercial reuse needs prior permission from the journal.
