The following information will serve to understand how the process works, from submission to publication.
Authors, when submitting to IntechOpen journal, will be asked to verify the paper is not considered elsewhere, that the data within it is true and accurate and that all authors are aware of the submission of the work.
Papers, if considered in scope for the title, will be sent to Section Editors handling papers in a relevant field. The Section Editor will determine if a paper will be sent for formal peer review. Peer Review at IntechOpen journals is single-blind and more details on the peer review process can be found here.
Concurrent submissions are not permitted unless an Editor states a paper would be better placed as two separate manuscripts. Duplicate submissions will not be considered.
geet journal currently operates under an APC-free model, meaning there will be no Article Processing Charge for accepted manuscripts. This reflects our commitment to Open Science and removes all barriers to participation, promoting broader inclusivity for both authors and readers.
Authors are strongly encouraged to place their work on a preprint server and state this within their submitted manuscript. Submission to a preprint server will not be considered publication in an alternative journal and manuscript with a preprint will be considered for publication.
All authors should list their ORCID number in their manuscript and at point of submission. Please note this is a preference not a requirement for submission.
In line with COPE recommendations regarding the post-publication critique, any comments that facilitate the debate or raise concern about the published content should be addressed through a Letter to the Editor. IntechOpen Journals welcome objective, evidence-based comments that contribute to a scholarly discussion and do not reflect subjective viewpoints nor contain derogatory language. Letters to the Editor are subjected to peer review. If post-publication discussion points to a need for correcting or removing the published content, the critique will be resolved through Correction or Retraction Notice.
