Submission FAQs for Authors

This section provides detailed guidance for authors submitting manuscripts to journals published by Avo Publications (AVOPUB.ORG). The information below explains the submission process, editorial workflow, peer review system, and publication policies across all Avo journals.

1. How do I submit my manuscript? +
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the official online submission system available on the respective journal website under the Avo Publications platform. Authors are required to create a submission account, complete the metadata form, upload the manuscript and all supplementary files, and confirm compliance with ethical and editorial policies before final submission.
2. What types of manuscripts does Avo Publications accept? +
Avo Publications accepts original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews, conceptual and theoretical papers, case studies, technical reports, methodological papers, short communications, and policy or practice-oriented studies. Each journal defines its specific scope, and authors should carefully review the journal’s aims before submission.
3. Is simultaneous submission allowed? +
No. Manuscripts submitted to Avo Publications must not be under consideration elsewhere. Simultaneous or duplicate submission violates publication ethics and may result in rejection or blacklisting of the manuscript.
4. What peer review model is used? +
All submissions undergo an initial editorial screening followed by formal peer review. Most Avo journals operate a double-blind peer review system, ensuring anonymity of both authors and reviewers. Reviewers assess originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the discipline.
5. What is the typical review timeline? +
Initial editorial decisions are typically communicated within 2–4 weeks. Full peer review cycles may vary depending on reviewer availability and revision rounds. Avo Publications prioritizes constructive, timely, and transparent review processes.
6. Are there article processing charges (APCs)? +
Some Avo journals charge APCs to support open access publishing, while others operate on fully subsidized models. All applicable fees are disclosed clearly before submission. No fees are requested before peer review is completed.
7. When and how is payment made? +
Payment is requested only after formal acceptance of the manuscript. Authors receive official invoices with secure payment options. Avo Publications does not request payment for rejected or withdrawn manuscripts.
8. What happens if revisions are required? +
Authors will receive structured reviewer reports and editorial guidance. Revised manuscripts must include a point-by-point response explaining how comments were addressed. Failure to adequately respond may lead to rejection.
9. Who owns the copyright? +
Authors retain copyright of their work while granting Avo Publications the right to publish and distribute the article. Open access articles are typically licensed under Creative Commons frameworks.
10. How are articles disseminated after publication? +
Articles are published online immediately after final acceptance, indexed in academic databases where applicable, archived in digital repositories, and promoted through global research networks.
11. Can I withdraw my manuscript? +
Authors may request withdrawal by submitting a formal written request. Withdrawal may not be permitted once peer review or production has begun. Improper withdrawal practices may affect future submissions.
12. How are post-publication corrections handled? +
Corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions are issued when necessary, following international publication ethics guidelines to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.
13. How can authors obtain support? +
Authors may contact the editorial office via the official contact channels listed on each journal website for technical assistance, editorial queries, or policy clarification.
