Publication Procedure
The publication process at Academil Journal of Research in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences involves several key stages designed to ensure the quality, integrity, and timely dissemination of research. Below is an overview of our publication procedure:
1. Manuscript Submission
Authors submit their manuscripts through the journal’s online submission system. The submission should follow the journal’s guidelines regarding format, structure, and ethical standards.
2. Initial Screening
The editorial team performs an initial screening to check if the manuscript aligns with the journal’s scope, research areas, and formatting requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned for revision or rejected outright.
3. Peer Review Process
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening undergo a double-blind peer-review process, where at least two independent experts in the field evaluate the manuscript for originality, quality, and significance.
Reviewers provide detailed feedback and recommendations, which may include requests for revisions, additional data, or clarifications.
4. Author Revisions
Based on reviewer comments, authors are asked to revise their manuscript. The revised manuscript, along with a response to the reviewers’ comments, is resubmitted within the specified timeline.
The editorial team may conduct additional rounds of review if necessary.
5. Final Decision
The editorial board reviews the revised manuscript and decides whether to accept, request further revisions, or reject the manuscript. Manuscripts that meet the journal’s standards are accepted for publication.
6. Editing and Proofreading
Accepted manuscripts undergo professional editing and formatting to ensure consistency and readability. Authors receive proofs for final approval before publication.
7. Publication and Indexing
Once finalized, the article is published online in the Current/upcoming issue of the journal. The publication is made freely accessible through our open-access platform and indexed in relevant academic databases.
8. Post-Publication
After publication, the article is promoted across various channels, enhancing its visibility and impact. Authors are encouraged to share their work within their professional networks.
This publication procedure is designed to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and ensure the timely and efficient publication of research contributions.
