Review Procedure
Authors will receive an acknowledgement by e-mail, including a reference number shortly after receipt of the manuscript. All manuscripts within the general domain of the journal will be sent for at least two reviews, using a double blind format, from members of our Editorial Board or their designated reviewers. In the majority of cases, authors will be notified within 45 days of the result of the review. If reviewers recommend changes, authors will receive a copy of the reviews and a timetable for submitting revisions. Papers and disks will not be returned to authors. There is no charge for manuscript submissions!

When a manuscript is accepted for publication, author(s) must provide format-ready copy of the manuscripts including all graphs, charts, and tables. Specific formatting instructions will be provided to accepted authors along with copyright information. Each author will receive two copies of the issue in which his or her article is published without charge. All articles are copyrighted by the respective journal. Permission requests for reprints should be addressed to the appropriate Editor. Questions and submissions should be addressed to the specific journal editor listed in the "Contact Us" section. There is no "Publication Fee" or "Submission Fee" for our journals. However, upon acceptance, in an effort to better promote the journals and your work, a one year subscription may be required.
