2) Paper Selection and Publishing Process

1. a) Submission Acknowledgement

When you submit a manuscript, the EJMSS online application provides automated confirmation notification to the authors and a manuscript number will be addressed in the authors account. If you do not receive this confirmation, please check your bulk/spam email box, or contact the editorial assistant [email protected].

1. b) Basic Review

The editor or editorial assistant figures out whether the manuscript fits the journal’s focus and scope. Next, a check for the similarity rate is done using Cross-check, powered by Turnitin. Any manuscripts out of the journal’s scope or having plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, are rejected. Manuscripts out of the journal’s scope are rejected. Articles published fully or partly in other publications/websites are not reviewed or accepted.

1. c) Peer Review

We use a double-blind system for peer-review; both reviewers’ and authors’ identities remain anonymous. The submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two experts: one editorial staff member as well as one to three external reviewers. The review process may take two to three weeks.

1. d) Decision is Made

The decision to accept an article is based on the average score given by reviewers. The reviewers grade a submitted manuscript on a scale of 1 to 5. To be accepted for publication, the manuscript must obtain an average score of not less than 2.5. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor or editorial assistant will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or the second round of peer review may be initiated.

1. e) Notification of the Result of Review

The result of the review will be sent to the corresponding author.

1. f) Submission is Accepted

If the submission is accepted, the authors revise the paper.
