A
manuscript is considered formally accepted after all corrections
are carried out to the satisfaction of the Editor. Once
the Editor accepts a manuscript, the author will be asked
to submit a final manuscript that will be checked by the
Editorial Office and then sent for copy editing and type
setting. It is important that the authors ensure that references,
notes, etc. are inserted correctly and that the manuscript
is submitted in the format outlined in the manuscripts submission
section. Incomplete manuscripts will be sent back to the
authors. A type-set manuscript is sent to the author for
final proof reading. Authors are expected to make only the
necessary corrections. At this stage, the journal will take
responsibility for any errors from our side. However, if
there are other extensive corrections such as extensive
additions/ deletions in text requiring lay out changes,
authors will have to pay charges, and the publication of
the manuscript may be postponed to a next available issue.
Once the corrected proofs are received from the author,
the manuscript can be officially termed as ‘in press’
and will be published in the next available issue.
We do not supply hard copy reprints, but PDFs of the final
manuscript will be available to the authors. |
