You could not change the selected journal after submitting the manuscript in the step5, so be sure you select the appropriate journal.
Step2 Manuscript General Information
The 'Manuscript General Information' primary step asks you to submit the manuscript type, title, abstract, keywords, pages and file.
You must select the actual file location (via an open file dialogue) on your computer. Acceptable formats for the manuscript file include Micorsoft Word and Adobe PDF format. Acceptable formats for figures include JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg), GIF (.gif), PostScript (.ps or .prn) and TIFF (.tif or .tiff). The file or figure could not exceed 6MB in the online system.
Step3 Authors' Information
Please provide the names, running titles, Email addresses, and affiliations of all the authors (including current affiliation and affiliation where the work was primarily carried out) of this manuscript, in the order that they appear on the manuscript. In order to submit a manuscript, you must be one of the authors of the manuscript.
Please note, if you are the corresponding author please submit your details correctly, especially the email and telephone number.
Step4 Reviewers' Information
You may suggest information of some particularly qualified reviewers who have had experience in the subject of the submitted manuscript, but who are not affiliated with the same institutes as the contributor.
You may also submit a list of reviewers to be excluded.
Step5 Validation and Submission
The Validation and Submission step is the last step in the manuscript submission process, which gives you the opportunity to check and verify the manuscript information and manuscript file uploaded. You may update and/or change manuscript information and manuscript file by clicking on the 'Previous' button respectively.
Once your manuscript has been finalised, click on the 'Approve Submission' button to submit your manuscript.
After submission you will receive an acknowledgement email. You can check the status of your manuscript at any time by accessing the system with your username and password or link sent to you in the acknowledgement email.
Please note that the submission process is not complete and your manuscript will not be received by the editors until you have approved the above 5 steps.
 
5 Peer Review Process
 

Each submitted manuscript passing through initial screening will be subjected to rigorous and anonymous peer-review by a minimum of 2 peer reviewers. Manuscripts that were not submitted to the editor-in-chief for initial screening will automatically be rejected. It is the policy of IJAS that referees who review a manuscript remain unknown to the authors (blind review). All the reviewers send a detailed report with their comments on the manuscript to the appointed editors. Reviewers typically have to complete their reviews within 3-4 weeks. This process could however be extended dependent on the number of manuscript scheduled for review. Comments are sent to the author(s), for papers which require revision. The editor will ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable. In cases of ambiguity and controversial articles, the final decision is solely made by the editor-in-chief. Please allow 8 weeks after the initial submission date of your manuscript before you contact the editor-in-chief for an article status update.
