There are no fixed submission deadlines for regular research articles unless otherwise announced by the Editorial Board.

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the journal's official Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts well in advance of their preferred publication period, as the review and editorial processes may require varying amounts of time.

3. Editorial and Peer-Review Process

All submitted manuscripts undergo an editorial evaluation process to ensure their scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal's Objectives and Scope.

The publication process generally involves:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening: Assessment of manuscript suitability, originality, completeness, and compliance with journal requirements.

  2. Peer Review: Independent scholarly evaluation by qualified reviewers.

  3. Author Revision: Revision of the manuscript based on editorial and reviewer recommendations, when required.

  4. Editorial Decision: Final determination of manuscript acceptance or rejection.

  5. Copyediting and Production: Language refinement, formatting, proofreading, and preparation of the final publication version.

  6. Online Publication: Publication of the accepted article in the designated journal issue.

The duration of each stage may vary depending on manuscript quality, reviewer availability, the complexity of required revisions, and editorial considerations.

Acceptance of a manuscript does not automatically guarantee its publication in a particular issue.

Accepted manuscripts are assigned to an appropriate issue based on:

  • Completion of the peer-review and editorial processes.

  • Fulfillment of all required revisions.
