a. The Evaluation Process
All submitted manuscripts will be checked by a professional in-house managing editor to determine whether they are properly prepared and whether they follow the ethical policies of the journal. After these checks, the managing editor will consult the journals’ editor-in-chief or associate editors to determine whether the manuscript fits the scope of the journal and whether it is scientifically sound.
Timeframe: The initial screening is done within 15 days and then the paper will be send to the expert reviewers after initial verification of chief editor. The review process takes 4-6 months. Of course, re-evaluation and re-correction will be added at this time.
Plagiarism: Samim Noor software is used to prevent plagiarism.
Reviewing and Publishing Costs: According to the decision of IKI Board, 300,000 Rials will be received from the author for reviewing each article and 1,700,000 Rials for the editing process. (It should be noted that if the article is rejected by a reviewer, chief editor, or editorial board, the sums will not be refundable to the author.)
