Publication Process
The reviewing process of the manuscripts sent to AUJEF proceeds following these steps:
1. The Editors review the manuscript to see whether its aims, subject, content and writing style fit the requirements of AUJEF (Maximum 10 days). The manuscript is approved by the Editor and sent to the Field Editor. Other manuscripts not approved by the Editor were returned to their authors/owners for revision and resubmission.
2. The field editor examines/reviews the manuscript and decides whether to send it to reviewers or return it to its authors/owners for revision (Maximum 10 days).
3. Reviewers are selected based on expertise and experience in the relevant field. They are given 15 days to review a manuscript.
4. If a reviewer thinks she/he cannot complete the reviewing process within the given time, she/he can ask the Editor for extra time or let the Editor know that she/he is not able to review the manuscript due to various reasons, such as a time shortage. Doing these things helps the Editor assign new reviewers without losing too much time.
5. If a reviewer cannot review the manuscript assigned to her/him within the given scope of time, she/he is sent a reminder e-mail with an additional 10 days to complete the reviewing process. If she/he does not return the reviewed manuscripts within the extra time, that manuscript may be withdrawn from her/him. After that, it is assigned to another reviewer.
6. If there is a divergence of opinion between the three reviewers (one accepting the manuscript, the other rejecting it, and the different demands minor revision), the field editor examines the review reports and compares and contrasts the reviewers’ critics, viewpoints, and reasoning to arrive at a decision.
7. If the field editor still needs to decide after examining the reviewers' reports, the manuscript is assigned to a fourth reviewer.
8. The manuscript decision should be made within the first 90-120 days. Then, the authors are informed about the decision. The accepted papers will be published in the following issue of AUJEF.
