Manuscripts deemed suitable to be sent to referees by the Editor are sent to at least two referees.
2. Reviewers' Evaluation: The referees fill in the referee evaluation form on-line according to the instructions titled "Publication Principles" on the website www.apjir.com and send it to the editor.
3. Final Decision Process: Within the framework of the evaluations of the referees, the Editor has the authority to decide whether the text will be published or not. If deemed necessary, the Editor may also send the article to another referee for evaluation. In case of a need for correction, the Editor sends the referee evaluation reports to the authors and forwards the articles sent to him/her after the relevant corrections to the publication manager. The final version of the text is sent back to the authors for final checks before publication. After all these procedures, the article is ready for publication.
