Articles Process Policy

Articles received are immediately processed. Once the paper gets through the screening by the local team and Crossref Similarity Check against plagiarism using iThenticate (the journal follows strict discipline for accepting manuscripts below 30% overlap excluding references and quotations), it is passed on to the handling Editor who assigns referees with expertise in the field. Referees are requested to provide their reports within three weeks. The reports of the referees help the handling Editor to arrive at a decision. In case of recommendation for revision, the Editor may advise the authors to re-submit their paper after due revision as per suggestions/comments of the referees. The revised paper is again evaluated by the same referees. On receiving the final decision from the Editor, the Editorial office makes necessary correspondence with the author(s). In case of clear recommendations for publication, the galley proofs of the paper are sent to the corresponding author. After the receipt of the corrected galley proofs, an effort is made to accommodate the paper in an issue to appear next.

Title Page, Abstract, Keywords & Phrases

The first letter of each word in the title should use upper case. Include on the first page the article title, author's name, affiliations with the country name, and email.

Statements of Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems should be set in italics.

Figures and Tables
