Very important points (regarding the importance of selecting the author responsible for correspondence)
At the time of uploading the article, there is an option to designate the author responsible for correspondence in the author profile section. Any of the authors can upload the article, but they must select the desired author on the page corresponding to the author's profile. After submitting the article, if any of the authors do not have a cartable in the system, an ID and password will be sent to them by email.
Once the article has been submitted, the whole process of the file can only be seen and followed from the author's page in the folder of the author responsible for the correspondence, and other authors will not be able to access and follow it. Therefore, be careful when choosing the author of the correspondence.
Initial review:
After submission, the article will be sent to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal for initial review. It is the responsibility of the author to edit the article according to the format available on the website and to carefully read the "Author's Guide" page in order to correct any problems, as it is not possible to provide a point-by-point list of the items requested by the reviewer for all submitted articles.
Very important points
After correcting the article (first editing stage) and adding the reviewers' comments (author editing stage), when you upload the original file, be sure to delete the old file and upload the new file again. The system allows only one article of the main article file type to be submitted.
The suffix R1 inserted after the interception code means the response of the final reviewer of the first stage (the first stage of the article's revision) and the suffix R2 means the response of the final reviewer of the second stage (the second stage of the article's revision).
Example: Jpq-123466-10002(R1)
No file outside the system has any use or validity, so please refrain from sending the article at the first stage of review and also from correcting the referees' responses to the journal's email.
How to follow up the article: After one and a half months have passed since the expert's approval and initial acceptance of the article, if the article is in {under review} status and no response has been received, send a follow-up email to the expert:
