Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Is OAS Publications peer-reviewed?

Yes. All journals under OAS Publications follow a rigorous double-blind peer review process. This means that both author and reviewer identities are concealed during evaluation to ensure impartiality and academic integrity. Every manuscript is reviewed by subject-matter experts to assess its originality, relevance, and contribution to the field.

How long does the peer review process take?

We strive to maintain a swift and efficient review timeline without compromising quality. Most manuscripts complete the peer review process within two weeks of submission. However, timelines may vary depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript. Authors are kept informed throughout the process.

Can I submit a manuscript that has already been published elsewhere?

No. OAS Publications only accepts original, unpublished work. Manuscripts must not be under review or previously published in any other journal, conference, or repository. Submitting previously published content violates our ethical standards and will result in immediate rejection.

Are there submission deadlines?

No. We accept submissions year-round. Once a manuscript is accepted and peer-reviewed, it will be scheduled for publication in the upcoming issue of the respective journal. This flexible model supports continuous publishing and faster dissemination of research.

How can I check the status of my manuscript?

Authors can track their manuscript status by contacting the editorial team via the journal-specific email address. For general inquiries, you may reach us at editor@xxxxx. We provide updates at each stage—from submission to peer review, revision, acceptance, and final publication.

What file formats are accepted for manuscript submission?

We accept manuscripts in Microsoft Word format (.DOC or .DOCX). Please ensure your file is compatible with Word 2007, 2016, or later versions. Submissions in other formats may be returned for resubmission.

Please ensure your manuscript adheres to the Author Guidelines before submission to avoid delays.

What are the publication charges?

OAS Publications operates under an open-access model, which requires authors to pay Article Processing Charges (APC) only after their manuscript is accepted. The APC covers peer review, editing, formatting, hosting, and long-term archiving. For current APC rates and waiver eligibility (especially for authors from low-income regions), please visit the journal’s homepage or contact the editor directly.
