Q: What is the process for article submissions?
A: Once the author(s) have submitted the article, the review board reviews the submission and gives feedback on necessary changes and improvements. They also make recommendations whether or not the paper is accepted for publication. The editors then turn the submission back to the author(s) and have them correct the paper. (This is an important step; please only submit if you are willing to follow through with the submission process). The paper is again submitted with the new revisions and the review board looks over the article again for any last errors or ways to improve the paper. At this point the editors, with help from the review board, will decide if the manuscript will be accepted or not. If not accepted, the editors will notify the author(s) on the status of the submission. If accepted, the author(s) make the final corrections and the article is ready for publishing.
