Each issue will be running issue and all officially accepted manuscripts that have completed necessary publishing steps will be given DOI numbers and hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final printed journal. Running issue concept gives authors the benefit of ‘Zero Waiting Time’ for the officially accepted manuscripts to be published.

The paper is sent to two reviewers (the experts in respective field) to review the paper in the light of journal’s guidelines and features of a quality research paper. For papers which require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable.
