FAQ

 

Please submit your article online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication time. Please click on "Submit Manuscript" in JSEA web site www.JSEA.ir 

Publishing an article is free of charge, and there is not any page limitation.

Once a paper is submitted online, an Editor in the related field as an expert should check the paper; after the primary screening, the paper will be sent to reviewers. The reviewer's response has to be presented to the Editorial Board for further evaluation. From the review process and editorial board evaluation, we decide on revision or rejection. In the case of a paper Editorial board is unable to judge the given comments by the reviewer and the revised paper; as author is asked for revision, the whole folder send to final referee for the exact judgment. Author at revision stage must prepare rebuttal letter for respond to itemized comments given by reviewer. Editor based on completion of revision if the revision is satisfied may vote for acceptance. 

The review process may take 1-2 months. In some cases due to limitation and contradictions about reviewers the process may take longer. 

While the manuscript files are handed over to production for page making and typesetting, you (being the corresponding author) will stay in touch with us through email coordinated by Editor in Chief. For top quality production author should cooperate with our production team.

The online publication represents the official publication of research results. It is not simply a prepublication service on the part of the publisher. As soon as an article is published online, it is citable and quotable. If changes are then made, confusion can easily arise, with authors citing different versions of the same publication. After the proof-reading period is over, no changes are permissible. JSEA has therefore decided not to make systematic use of the technical possibilities that an online publication offers and not to simply replace a published document with an updated one. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyper-linked to the article.
