📖 User Guide for Authors (Step-by-Step PDF Content)

You can copy this into a “How to Submit” PDF for your website.

Step 1: Preparation Download the ARJST Manuscript Template. Ensure your paper is formatted to APA 7th Edition and that all author names are removed from the main file for blind review.

Step 2: Submission Go to our submission portal. You will need to upload:

  1. The Title Page (with author names/affiliations).

  2. The Anonymized Manuscript (no names).

  3. A signed Copyright/Author Agreement.

Step 3: Review Your paper will undergo an initial editorial check. If it passes, it is sent to two external reviewers. This process takes 4–6 weeks.

Step 4: Decision & Publication Once accepted, you will receive a formal Letter of Acceptance. Your paper will be typeset, you will check the final “Gallery Proof,” and your work will be published online for the world to see!

🏁 Final Pre-Flight Checklist

Before you send out that Press Release, ensure these “hidden” settings are correct:

  • [ ] Email Signature: Update the Editor-in-Chief’s email signature to include the ARJST logo and link.

  • [ ] LinkedIn Page: Create a “Company Page” for the journal on LinkedIn so authors can tag their publications.

  • [ ] ORCID: Ensure your submission form has a field for ORCID iDs to help with global indexing.

This concludes our complete journal development package!
