4. Submission and Review Process
The authors can submit their manuscript to the concerned journal's official email displayed on the journal's website or submit it via the Submit Manuscript Form. The manuscript should be prepared in accordance with the 3. Manuscript Preparation Guidelines.
Once the manuscript is received, it will undergo a preliminary review by the editorial team to ensure that it meets the basic submission requirements and standards of the journal. If the manuscript is deemed suitable for further consideration, it will then be sent out for a peer review by independent experts in the field. The peer review process can take several weeks, and the authors will be notified of the outcome of the review.
Accepted manuscripts will then be subject to a final editing process and proofreading by the editorial team before being published in the journal. The authors are responsible for ensuring that the final version of their manuscript is accurate and error-free.
Please note that authors are required to send a written confirmation that the submitted manuscript is original, has not been published elsewhere, and does not infringe on any copyright or intellectual property rights. The authors should also confirm that they have obtained the necessary permissions for any copyrighted material included in their manuscript.
Open Access Policy:
All articles published by Sryahwa Publications are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which allows for unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of the article, as long as the original work is properly cited. This license formalizes the terms and conditions for publishing articles with Sryahwa Publications.
Copyright Policy:
Authors retain the copyright of their articles upon publication with Sryahwa Publications. By publishing with us, authors grant us a license to publish the article and identify us as the original publisher.
Withdrawal Policy:
Sryahwa Publications recognizes that authors may sometimes need to withdraw their article from publication for various reasons. In such cases, we have a clear and fair withdrawal policy in place to ensure a smooth and transparent process.
• Timing: Authors may request to withdraw their article at any time before the review process is completed. However, once the review process is completed and the article has been accepted for publication or has been published, it cannot be withdrawn.
• Process: To request a withdrawal, authors must send an email to the concerned journal's official email displayed on the journal's website. The email must include the reason for the withdrawal request, the corresponding author's full name, and contact information.
• Evaluation: The editorial team will evaluate each withdrawal request on a case-by-case basis and will inform the authors of their decision in a timely manner.
Please note that Sryahwa Publications reserves the right to reject withdrawal requests that are deemed unreasonable or inappropriate.
For further information on our withdrawal policy or other publication-related matters, authors can contact the concerned journal's official email displayed on the journal's website.
5. Article Processing Charges (APC)
An article processing charge (APC) is a fee that is charged to authors, or their institutions or funders, to cover the costs of publishing an article in an open access journal. Sryahwa Publications requires authors to pay an APC for the publication of their articles. The APC covers the costs of peer-review, editing, publishing, maintaining and archiving, and providing online access to the articles. The amount of the Article Processing Charge (APC) may vary between journals and is specific to each journal. The APC for each journal is clearly stated on the journal's website. The APC should be paid in full before the article is published.
Refund Policy:
Sryahwa Publications has a clear policy regarding refunds for Article Processing Charges (APC). Once an article has been accepted and published, the APC paid by the author cannot be refunded. This means that once the payment has been made and the article has been made available to the public, the author will not be able to receive a refund for the APC.
Waiver Policy:
Sryahwa Publications understands that not all authors have the financial resources to pay the article processing charge (APC) and therefore have a transparent waiver policy in place. The policy is designed to support authors who are unable to meet the costs of publishing open access. The publisher will consider waivers and discounts on a case-by-case basis for authors from low-income countries as defined by the World Bank and for those who have completed their research without any external financial support. The goal is to ensure that the APC will never be a barrier to publishing and that authors can publish in any open access journal, regardless of their economic status. For more information, authors can contact the journal's official email displayed on the journal's website.
