Paper Selection and Publishing Process
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the authorities responsible where the work was carried out. However, we accept submissions that have previously presented at conferences; or have previously appeared in other “non-journal” venues (for example: blogs or posters).
Copyrights for articles are retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal. Authors have rights to reuse, republish, archive, and distribute their own articles after publication. The journal/publisher is not responsible for subsequent uses of the work.
Benefits of Publishing a Special Issue with AFJOLIH
- i) Submission Acknowledgement
When you submit a manuscript online, you will receive a submission acknowledgement letter or message. For email submission, the editor always sends an e-mail confirmation to the submission’s author within one to three working days. If you fail to receive this confirmation, please check your bulk email box or contact the editor: editor@afjolih.com
- ii) Basic Review
The editorial board determines whether the manuscript fits the journal’s focus and scope. Next a check for the similarity rate is done using plagiarism checking software.
iii) Peer Review
We use a double-blind system for peer review; both reviewers’ and authors’ identities remain anonymous. The submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two experts: one editorial staff member as well as one to three external reviewers. The review process may take two to four weeks.
- iv) Making Decision About the Validity of an Article
The decision to accept or reject an article is based on the suggestions of reviewers.
- v) Notification of the Result of Review
The result of review will be sent to the corresponding author and forwarded to other authors.
- vi) Publication Fees
If the submission is accepted, the authors revise papers and pay the publication fees to editor@afjolih.com. Authors must email us a proof of payment: the scanned receipt of payment. The following money transfers can be used for payment: RIA, Western Union and MoneyGram. The publication fees of the AFJOLIH are 91 US dollar or 50.000F CFA
vii) Publication Notice
The authors and readers will be notified and invited to visit our website for the newly published articles. http://www.afjolih.com
