Researchers and scholars from all fields of study are welcome to submit their research articles, reviews, and other scholarly works to the journals. See each journal's Aims and Scopes page to determine if your paper is an appropriate fit. You may also contact us for a determination. We encourage quality submissions from students, early career, and established scholars. 

Yes, we track citations of our journals using Google Scholar. This provides an estimate of article citations across a broad array of academically-relevant sources. Citation counts are noted on each journal's home page. Read our notes on citation metrics here.

Currently, all manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments - see each journal's submission page for email addresses. Before submitting, please attend to the relevant journal's Author Guide page for formatting instructions.

Yes, all of our journals are a peer-reviewed. Our peer-review process ensures that all submitted articles are evaluated for their originality, significance, and clarity by experts in the relevant field. Our journals meet quality standards of most organizations. For instance, all journals have rigorous peer-review, are indexed and visible, open access, have editorial boards with experts in their fields, have posted transparent publication practices, and adhere to formalized publication and research ethics practices.

We would be delighted and honored for your library or website to link or list our journals. Feel free to list our journals among your electronic journal holdings. Contact us if you have questions.

Our organization receives no external funding or fees for subscriptions or article access. As such, the publisher charges a fee in the form of Article Processing Charges for accepted articles to support journal infrastructure and operations. There is NO fee for submission or review of articles. Fees are only charged after final acceptance of an article. Our APCs are modest compared to many other journals. See our Article Processing Charge page for details.

Articles are published live on our website usually within one week after our receipt of the Article Processing Charge and approval of galley proofs. A DOI is issued soon thereafter. The total time from our receipt of initial submissions to article publication varies depending on several factors such as reviewer availability, how quickly we receive any needed revisions from authors, and administrative backlog. We aim to provide at least an initial determination within one week of receipt. 

This depends on the indexing service. We have no control over this. For example, Google Scholar usually indexes published articles within two weeks. However, we've noticed much variance in this with some articles taking 2-3 days and others several weeks. Indexing time for Google Scholar may be shorter if you archive your article through your institution or academic social media such as ResearchGate. Timelines of other indexers vary substantially.

All articles published in our journals are freely available online (open access) to promote the dissemination of knowledge. Check our the Articles and Issues pages of each journal to browse articles. 

Yes, publication certificates are available but are not issued automatically. Upon request of the author(s), our journals may issue a publication certificate by email confirming the publication of an article. Certificates are issued at no cost. Certificates are optional and intended solely for administrative or institutional verification purposes (e.g., employment reporting, degree requirements, funding documentation). Certificates do not confer any academic status beyond what is evidenced by the article itself and are secondary to the definitive scholarly record, which is the article as published on the journal’s website. The authoritative version of record is identified by the article’s DOI and official online publication page. Institutions are encouraged to verify publications directly through these sources whenever possible.

Our journals do not consider outright republications of articles due to copyright and originality concerns. However, in line with standard publication ethics, our journals will consider manuscripts that build upon an author’s previously published article or book (including replication studies, follow-up investigations, extended or revised articles, and authorized translations or adaptations of work previously published in another language) on a case-by-case basis provided that the submission is transparent about the prior publication and represents a scholarly contribution beyond the previously published work. Any prior publication must be disclosed at submission and appropriately cited in the manuscript. Submissions that substantially duplicate previously published work without clear disclosure are not considered or may be retracted. Authors with questions are welcome to contact us prior to submission.
