Submission in all ENDIRE journals and conferences (whether new or revised) are made online after you signin and from your dashboard. The system will guide you through the submission process. There are basically two parts to the submission:
The submission of any type of article follows the same process. Once you have completed your submission, the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) will respond to the corresponding author within three days, as to the result of the desk evaluation. If the outcome is a 'desk reject' an explanation is provided (one possible reason as an example is that the article subject matter is not suitable to the journal). No further processing will follow.
If the article has passed desk review, then it will be sent (anonymously) to the review process where an appropriate review team (Associate Editor, AE, and 2 or more reviewers - double-blind) will be assigned to your article. Within 6 weeks, the AE will respond to you with the feedback/comments/suggestions of the reviewers and a final decision for your article. Should the outcome at this point be acceptance, another cycle with revision may be required. This peer review process can have multiple iterations. Our goal is to publish high quality articles.
During the review process, we aim to provide you with feedback and suggestions to help you develop and enhance your article and make it attractive to the global digital innovation community.
Note that double-blind review means that the authors will not know who is reviewing their article, and the reviewers will not know who are the authors. INDIRE will never release this information. Also, note that all dates in the review process are typical and may vary according to the article characteristics, such as length, complexity of the subject matter, and available reviewers with same expertize.
The spirit of your submission should be respectful in all respects, and should consider the following:
Consider the order of the list of authors on your article and agree on the order before you submit your article. Any additions, deletions, or rearrangement of order of author names should be made before your article has been accepted and is subject to the approval of the editor in chief.
If any change to the authors list is necessary, the corresponding author must send an email to the Editor in Chief explaining the following:
We understand the commitment to format an article according to the Journal specifications. We value quality and relevance of articles and their content. Therefore, articles for new submission may be written with any formatting style, keeping in mind that consistency and clarity necessary. For example, you may use any reference system and referencing in the body style.
You would need to submit your manuscript as a single Word file to be used in the refereeing process. Your submission in word format allows us to number all lines for ease of referencing during the reviewing process.
Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to our 'formatting style' for acceptance (https://www.indire.net/Uploads/TemplateINDIRE.docx) and provide the items required for the publication of your article. We also provide paid services for formatting and editing your article when accepted.
All INDIRE journals and conferences article format follow the American Psychological Association, APA with minor changes, as listed below. Authors are encouraged to download the word documents examples below to explore the formatting and visit the APA style guidelines for more detailed information.
