REVIEW PROCESS |
|
| |
The Editor first evaluates all manuscripts. It is rare but entirely feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have poor grammar or English language, or are outside the aims and scope of the journal. Should the Editor decide to not assign reviewers but instead reject the submission, he/she is required to provide comments to be returned to the author. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to preferable 3 but at least 2 experts for review. Suggestions for referees from the author are welcome, though these recommendations may or may not be used. Editors will solicit reviewers with the title and an abstract of the submission and, if accepted, send reviewers the submission via email. Editors should guide referees with Reviewer Guidelines. Referees directly return their reviews to the Editor through electronic review system. Unless the Editor
makes specific arrangements with a reviewer, the deadline to return a completed review is 4 weeks. Upon acceptance of the paper, all authors are then informed about the review comments and asked to submit camera-ready copy along with publication payment fee. |

HE LPFUL HINTS FOR GETTING PUBLISHED |
|
| |
Drafting a manuscript takes time and practice. Crafting an article to fit a publication's style requires an eye for editorial detail. Here are some tips regarding the publications that will help prospective authors become published?
- Keep the readers in mind. Remember that while the readers are a sophisticated audience, both in technical training and in education, they also are busy. Be concise when expressing ideas and use subheadings to break up the text and make skimming easier.
- Follow a journalistic style. Provide details that illustrate the position expressed in the article and follow a logical progression of ideas. Vary sentence lengths to make reading easier and to engage the reader.
- Address readers clearly. Avoid unnecessarily complex vocabulary, clichés and excessive jargon.
- Use bullets to make points easier to read.
- Provide a summary of the major points of the article at the end as conclusion and future work.
- Provide supporting tables, figures, charts or artwork along with the manuscript. Indicators of the location of supporting illustrations should be included in the text, so the Journal staff will know where to place them, but the actual art itself should be submitted in a jpg, tiff or gif file, separate from the text. Titles should be included that explain the relevance and significance of these supporting items.
- Please do not submit articles with automatic headers and footers or track changes functions engaged.
- Give the article a final edit to eliminate unnecessary words. Make sure paragraphs flow smoothly and logically.
