Author Guidelines
Impact in Computics and all journals under the Impaxon publishing platform welcome the submission of original, high-quality research that falls within the respective journal’s scope. Authors are kindly requested to follow the guidelines below when preparing and submitting manuscripts.
Editorial Evaluation Process
1. Initial Editorial Screening
The editorial office conducts a preliminary assessment to verify:
- Relevance to the journal's aims and scope
- Originality, structure, and clarity
- Language proficiency and formatting quality
Submissions that fail to meet minimum criteria may be desk-rejected without peer review.
2. Peer Review
All Impaxon journals follow a single-blind peer review process. Reviewers know the authors’ identities, but authors do not know the reviewers.
- Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two expert reviewers
- Review criteria include:
- Novelty and originality
- Scientific rigor and correctness
- Relevance and contribution to the field
- Methodology and data clarity
- Writing quality and readability
Constructive feedback is provided to authors for revision and improvement.
3. Final Decision
After peer review, the Editor-in-Chief or assigned Associate Editor makes the final decision to:
- Accept the manuscript
- Request minor or major revisions
- Reject the manuscript
Authors are notified of decisions through the submission system or official journal email.
Immediate Online Publication
Once accepted, articles are published immediately online as part of our continuous publishing model. There is no waiting period for issue assembly, allowing for rapid dissemination and citation of your research. Each paper will be assigned to the relevant volume and article number upon publication.
