Please make appropriate changes. We seek to acknowledge receipt of submissions within 72 hours. You will receive a manuscript submission number. Use it in all correspondence with this journal. In general, allow 1-3 months for review process. You can monitor the review process by article submission number or title, at TRACK-YOUR-SUBMISSION Journal's double-blind-peer-review policy assures that the reviewers do not know the name of the author and vice versa. You will be notified when reviews are completed. Usually authors receive two reviews in one attachment. The 1st review offers Rating Table in an easy to read listing of 9 points, A, B, C?. The 2nd review provides explanatory comments. Additional remarks, by both reviewers, are embedded in the text . In order to receive reviews, you must sign and return by postal mail or e-mail Manuscript Authentication & Copyright Agreement. Do not send with your submission. Wait for submission number and then send it promptly. Letter "e or p" next to "ab" in submission entry at TRACK-YOUR-SUBMISSION confirms compliance with copyright agreement. Failure to comply may result in disqualification or reapplication fee, (see #4 Reapplication). Revising and editing are essential factors in creating effective article. Reviewers have invested time and effort in your manuscript and so should you. Careless or sloppy revision will disqualify your submission from further consideration or may result in reapplication fee. We do not encourage/offer any direct dialogue between authors and editors - in a double-blind-review it is difficult to coordinate any dialogue... A reminder, AEQ Feature Editors do not have a control over who the reviewers might be. So defined roles preserve journal's double-blind-peer-reviewed process & assure article publication based on merit and not favor, bias, or personal preference. This journal will not provide technical or remedial help concerning article submission or revision. All reviews are self-explanatory. Your final copy must be free of reviewers notes and have all the parts: title, author(s) and academic affiliation, author's biography, abstract, text, references... see lay-out sample. We discourage any lengthy-frequent-repetitive contacts with this journal. For the complexity of AEQ review process see Flowchart Journal's twenty years publishing experience suggests maximum 8 e-mail/postal contacts between the author and AEQ as the norm 1) submission               2) submission clarification               3) copyright              4) extra contact      You must complete the above 3 in maximum 4 e-mail/postal contacts. Otherwise, your submission      will be rejected or rescheduled for consideration until the next available issue. 5) reviews                     6) reviews clarification                     7) final copy             8) extra contact Exceeding eight contacts may disqualify your submission from further consideration as it drives up journal's administrative cost above the sixty-two dollars average per one submission. Hence, in order to work efficiently, we had to establish "eight contacts limit" per one submission. This journal does not offer page proofs, offprints, hard copy of galleys or author's complimentary copy of the issue. Instead, check whether you qualify for 1/2 price author's copy. If you plan to purchase a paper copy, you may want to order ASAP when you are assured of paper's publication. Usually, Academic Exchange Quarterly is sold out the month it is printed.

Use English letters only (alphabet consists of 26 letters) as all other letters are deleted automatically. Symbols signifying a trademark (TM), a service mark (SM) or a registration with the U.S. Patent Office (R in a circle) are primarily for the use of the owner to indicate rights; use of the symbols is not required in journalistic publications. The same applies to the use of copyright symbol in text. Mathematical, physical, chemical formulas can be put in the Appendix as a webpage. See entry #15 above. Preferred option is to rewrite mathematical notation. In addition, spell out the words percent, degrees (temperature), feet, inches, and cents... Whilst all care is taken, it is the author's responsibility to ensure that any factual, stylistic and grammatical errors are corrected prior to publication. Your article mirrors your scholarship.
