After assigning the Manuscript ID number, the manuscript will be sent for editorial review and external expert peer review. Authors will be requested to quote the manuscript ID number in all correspondences with STCJ. If the manuscript files do not meet the technical requirements of the journal, authors will be sent detailed instructions about the changes required in the manuscript and asked to resubmit the files to Managing Editor. After the files pass the technical and formatting requirements, the manuscript is assigned to a member of the Editorial Board.
The Editor(s) will review the manuscript and return the manuscript along with their comments to the Managing Editors. The editorial process will give the editors the authority to reject any manuscript, if it does not meet the scientific publishing standards or is out of scope of the journal. Based on the comments of the Editor(s) the manuscript will be sent for external double-blind peer review. The manuscript will be usually sent to two to three expert peer reviewers. After the peer reviewers will return the manuscript with their comments, the manuscript with reviewers and Editor's comments will be sent to the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief will review the manuscript and the comments and will recommend suitability of the manuscript for publication in STCJ. Based on the Editor-in-Chief's comments the first decision on acceptance of the manuscript will be taken. The authors will be promptly informed of the acceptance/rejection of the manuscript. The reviewers comments will also sent to the authors with the decision. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors will be sent instructions about how to respond to the reviewer's comments and make changes in the manuscript. At this stage, based on the reviewer's comments, the manuscript may need changes to text, figures, tables etc. If the authors feel that they are not satisfied with the editorial decision about publication of the manuscript, authors may appeal the decision. After author's response to reviewer's comments will be received, the manuscript will be reviewed by the assigned editor and if required the manuscript will be sent again to the reviewers for their comments. After editors have reviewed the manuscript and the responses, final decision about publication of the manuscript, will be taken. The authors will be promptly informed of the decision.
After acceptance of the manuscript, it may be edited for grammar, punctuation, style and accuracy. An edited, pre-print, proof of the manuscript with all figures, table and charts included, will be sent to the corresponding author for approval. The proof will be sent as a PDF file. The authors will also be sent a form as a Microsoft Word document, which the authors can use to submit any changes required in the manuscript. Please note that at this stage only the type-setting like incorrect punctuation will be corrected. It will not be possible to make any significant changes to the text or add or delete figures.
