Frequently Asked Questions
What are the article processing charges (APCs)?
Our transparent pricing structure ensures accessibility while maintaining quality standards. APCs vary by article type and length. Waivers and discounts available for authors from low-income countries, students, and unfunded research. Contact our editorial office for specific pricing and waiver eligibility.
Can I suggest reviewers for my manuscript?
Yes, you may suggest up to 3 potential reviewers during submission. Provide their names, affiliations, expertise areas, and email addresses. While we consider suggestions, final reviewer selection remains at editor discretion to ensure independence and expertise match.
What if my manuscript is rejected?
Rejection decisions include detailed feedback explaining the reasons. Common causes include insufficient novelty, methodological concerns, or scope mismatch. You may address concerns and resubmit as a new manuscript, or consider our feedback for submission elsewhere. We aim to provide constructive guidance regardless of outcome.
How do I track my manuscript status?
Log into the ManuscriptZone portal using your credentials. Navigate to "My Manuscripts" to view real-time status updates, reviewer comments (when available), and editorial decisions. You'll also receive email notifications at each stage.
Can I submit a manuscript currently under review elsewhere?
No. We require that submitted manuscripts are not under consideration by another journal. Simultaneous submission violates publication ethics and will result in immediate rejection. You may submit after receiving a rejection decision from another journal.
What file formats do you accept?
Manuscripts: Word (.docx) or LaTeX (.tex with all necessary files). Figures: TIFF, EPS, or high-resolution PDF. Tables: Excel (.xlsx) or included in manuscript. Supplementary materials: PDF, Word, Excel, or common video formats (MP4, AVI).
