    5. Bibliographical reference must be noted in body note and bibliography according to APA Style.
    6. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted or rejected will get a notification from JEELS editorial board. Editorial board has an authority to return the rejected articles without asserting the causes.
    7. We will reject a manuscript without review if the Turnitin report results is more than 20% of similarity index, it exceeds our word limit or is incorrectly formatted; it is poorly presented and unclear, and if there are substantive issues with the design, methodology, or data quality.
    8. Authors must submit a Turnitin similarity report along with their manuscript, a report from an AI-detection tool (e.g., GPTZero, Originality.ai, or equivalent), a signed Statement of Originality (click here) and a Copyright Transfer Agreement (click here) during submission. 

    9. Manuscripts that pass the initial assessment are assigned to a subject expert from the Editorial Board to oversee the review process. The manuscripts are then forwarded to a double-blind peer review process. Throughout the review process, the identities of both the author(s) and reviewer(s) are concealed to ensure objectivity and impartiality.

      The review process typically takes approximately 2–4 months, depending on reviewer availability and the extent of revisions required.

      Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editors will make one of the following decisions: decline submission, accept submission, or revisions required. Please note that a decision of revisions required does not guarantee acceptance. Authors are required to provide a point-by-point response explaining how each comment has been addressed in the revised manuscript.

      Revised manuscripts may undergo further peer review, and more than one round of revision may be necessary. The final acceptance decision will be made once all required revisions have been satisfactorily completed.

    10. The editorial board is permitted to edit the accepted manuscripts to ensure the paper fully matches our criteria without changing the essence. After final checking in the editorial office, acceptance is confirmed and the paper is forwarded to the publishers for publication.
