Submission:

 

Submit manuscripts as an e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at:

irssr@globalresearchpublishing.com

or online at Submit Paper

no later than 15th of January and 15th of June.

 

The Editorial workflow is divided into 4 stages:
1. Submission: This is where new submissions land while being assigned to Section Editors and considered for moving into the Review stage.
Some submissions are clearly inappropriate and never make it beyond this stage.
2. Review: This is where the peer review happens, as well as any revisions required by the author.
Some submission will not pass review and end here. Those that are accepted move to the next stage.
 
3. Copyediting: Accepted articles move to this stage, where they are improved by the work of a copyeditor. Authors can be given the opportunity to review the copyedits.
4. Production: Once the copyedits are completed and approved, the submission moves to this stage. In Production, the copyedited files are converted to galleys – HTML, XML, PDF, etc. Again the author has the opportunity to proofread the galleys. Once everyone is satisfied, the submission is scheduled for publication in a future issue.

Authors are fully responsible for the entire content of their papers and they are assuming all responsibility for the ideas expressed in the materials published.

The article submission implies that the work has never been published before, that it was not considered for reviewing and publication anywhere else.

 

* Notice: All submitted materials are actively checked for plagiarism!

Note: the articles are free of processing charges and have no submission charges!
