Review Process

Article Review Process


* Dear writers!To submit an article, read the Authors Guide section completely.
* The refereeing of articles is double-blind.

 

The process of judging and accepting the article is as follows:

  1. Registering the author in the journal system and completing all the relevant forms that are on the main page of the journal.
  2. Initial review of the article by the editor and specialized editors (maximum 10 working days) and notification to the author.
  3. If the article gets the initial approval to enter the judging process, plagiarism will be examined, and if the similarity is less than 15%, it will be sent to the judging.
  4. Sending the article to at least 2 referees at the same time and announcing the result to the author (at most 4 months after sending the article to the referee);
  5. Only articles with a score of more than 70 will be referred to the author for review, otherwise the article will be rejected.
  6. 6.If the article needs to be revised, the author has the opportunity to revise and return the article within 20 days.
  7. Sending the revised article to refereeing: in this stage, the article is reviewed by the same referees who judged the article in the first stage.
  8. If the article needs a partial revision after step 7, it will be returned to the author for revision, otherwise it will be rejected.
  9. Examining the revised article in the final stage by the judges and the editorial board and announcing the result to the author.
  10. Payment of acceptance fee for the accepted articles.
  11. Final acceptance of the article.

Note 1: The period of revision (the period of time that the article is reviewed by the author for revision) is deducted from the period of judging.

Note 2: Failure to pay the acceptance fee for the article means the author's withdrawal from publishing the article.

Note 3: Revised articles will be refereed only once and will be rejected if the referees' opinion is not satisfied.
