Phases for Publishing the Articles

Authors submit manuscripts through the official OJS-based submission system.
The editorial team conducts an initial screening to evaluate the relevance and completeness of the submission.
Each article is assigned to at least two reviewers under a double-blind review system. If opposing recommendations are given, a third reviewer will be consulted.
Authors receive review results and are required to revise accordingly. Resubmitted manuscripts will be re-evaluated to ensure all comments have been addressed.
Once approved by the reviewers and editorial board, the manuscript proceeds to reference checking and formatting according to IJODAS standards.
The article will then be typeset and reviewed for layout consistency, accuracy, and graphical quality.
Authors will receive a final proof version of the article for approval prior to publication.
The article will be assigned to an upcoming issue and published online with an e-ISSN.
