Publishing Process

Compare aims, subjects, methods, and boundaries. A manuscript may be desk rejected if its central contribution does not fit; no transfer process is promised.

Select an available article type, prepare files and metadata, and complete authorship, funding, conflicts, ethics, consent, data, preprint, and AI declarations as applicable.

Submit through the official system. Submission creates no promise of review, acceptance, or publication.

Staff check required files, readable content, author information, declarations, and basic policy compliance. A returned submission has not been editorially rejected.

Editors assess fit, originality, presentation, reporting, ethics, and integrity. Unsuitable work may be declined without external review.

Qualified reviewers assess methods, evidence, reporting, interpretation, relevance, and contribution under the single-blind model.

An authorized editor considers the manuscript, reviews, and policies independently of APC payment or commercial considerations.

Authors respond point by point, identify changes, and explain respectfully where a suggestion was not adopted. Revision does not guarantee acceptance.

A revision may return to previous or additional reviewers. More than one round may be required and no fixed review time is promised.

Formal acceptance is the scholarly decision that the manuscript may proceed, subject to completion of publication requirements.

Authors complete permissions, licence, declarations, source files, and article-specific production information.

There is no submission fee. Only after acceptance, the APC is ₹3,999 for an India billing location or US$149 outside India, subject to approved waivers, discounts, exceptions, and applicable taxes.

The accepted work may undergo copyediting, typesetting, figure and metadata checks, and preparation of accessible publication files.

Authors check production accuracy and answer queries. Proofs are not a route for silent material changes to accepted scholarly content.

The Version of Record is published online after editorial and production completion and organized into the appropriate volume or issue under continuous publication.

Article metadata and a DOI, where assigned, appear with the record. Publication does not guarantee indexing, citations, discovery, or impact.

Material errors or concerns use linked corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, or other transparent notices; the record is not silently altered.

Before publication, withdrawal may follow an author request accepted by the journal or a justified legal, ethics, integrity, or process reason.

Email editorial@anvapublishing.com with the journal and manuscript ID where available. Manuscripts themselves must use the submission system.
