AJEE Editorial Process Timeline
Our journal follows a rigorous editorial process to ensure the quality and integrity of published articles. The entire publishing process, excluding the time needed for authors to respond to revision requests or queries, typically takes 40 working days.
Our dedication to maintaining a seamless and efficient editorial process ensures that quality research reaches our readership in a timely manner.
The publication process involves four main stages:
1 Submission:
Upon receiving a manuscript, an assigned editor conducts a pre-desk evaluation,
which includes checking the manuscript’s compliance with the journal’s scope and guidelines, ensuring proper formatting, and conducting similarity and AI detection checks.
This initial assessment typically takes 2-3 working days. Authors are required to provide detailed information, including author details, abstract, and other relevant information about the manuscript.
2 Peer Review:
The peer review process is a crucial part of scholarly publishing. We employ a double-blind peer review process to ensure unbiased and impartial evaluations. After the initial screening, the editor selects appropriate reviewers who have expertise in the manuscript’s subject matter.
This reviewer selection process takes 2-3 working days. Reviewers are invited to assess the manuscript and are given up to 5 working days to prepare their reviews in accordance with the journal’s guidelines. (The peer review period is counted twice in the table, as it represents the main stage of the publication process. This ensures that the assessment is thorough and upholds the journal’s standards).
3 Production:
Accepted articles move to the production team for editing, proofreading, and layout preparation. This comprehensive process takes up to 20 working days to ensure the final version adheres to high publishing standards. The approved articles are then published on our website, and we offer an option for Online First Articles to expedite their availability to readers.
4 Post Publication:
The final stage involves post-publication activities. We diligently index our articles in the most important scholarly databases to increase their visibility and impact.
Additionally, we actively promote our authors and their research on our social media platforms, encouraging readers to engage with the content, provide comments, and share feedback.
We strive to maintain efficiency throughout the editorial process; however, it’s important to note that we cannot guarantee the timing of authors' responses to revision requests or queries.
This may affect the overall duration of the publishing process.
