After the manuscript is received it undergoes preliminary editorial review. Decision whether the manuscript will be processed for publication or it is unsuitable for publication in SPSJ will be intimated to the corresponding author. Manuscripts found suitable for publication undergo peer review process which may take variable time depending upon the Reviewers’ response (usually minimum two weeks to four months). Each manuscript is sent to at least two peer reviewers. Suggestions given by the peer reviewers are intimated to the corresponding author for necessary corrections. After this, the manuscript undergoes final editorial review and the composing process.
The processed manuscript is sent to the corresponding author for proof reading before declaring it ‘camera-ready’. When the manuscript is considered fit for publication, an email is sent to the corresponding author to submit a nominal publication fee to cover the cost of publishing. After receipt of the publication fee, letter of acceptance is issued and the manuscript is placed in queue for publication. The average time taken from submission to publication is approximately six months, depending upon the response from peer reviewers and authors.
