Editorial Policy

The Editorial policy constitutes the following:

Manuscripts

Papers (Manuscripts) shall adhere to the format and style prescribed in ‘Instructions to Contributors (Authors)’ provided on the ‘Submissions’ Section.

Review and Acceptance Procedure

Each submission will initially be reviewed by the Editorial Board and thereafter submitted to two experts in the given field of study. The comments and suggestions received will be conveyed to the authors with requests for revision before the paper is accepted for publication. A submission may even be rejected based on the reviewers’ comments which will be duly informed to the writer. The editorial board or the reviewers may request for data and workings during the review process which the authors must be willing to provide.

Originality

Submissions shall be original contributions that have neither been published previously nor under consideration for publication. However, presentation of a paper at an academic conference or professional meeting will not disqualify it from being considered for publication provided that the conference/ meeting does not own copyrights of the paper.
