Author Guideline
RIAL serves as a mentoring journal to guide the novice and experienced authors through the publishing process. Our editorial team and reviewers are committed to provide a mentorship for all authors in revising, developing, and polishing the manuscripts until they are publishable. First, the editorial team will examine the submitted manuscript immediately to see if it meets the journal requirements for publication. Second, the manuscript will be sent out for the blind reviews (two independent reviewers) and the communication between the authors and reviewers will be facilitated by the editorial team. It aims to facilitate academic interaction and communication between the authors and the reviewers. Third, on acceptance of the manuscript and approval from the editorial team, the manuscript will continue to the production stage that includes proofreading, copyediting, styling, and reference synchronization.
First authors may only submit one paper per issue to RIAL-EJ. After getting one article accepted by reviewers, the author might then submit another manuscript.
