Review Process 

1. All articles are double blind peer reviewed and the comments of the review committee shall be forwarded to the author for modification.
2. The editor-in-chief shall make appropriate changes, if needed.
3. Certificate of acceptance or publication shall not be issued at any cost.
4. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse or edit submissions.
5. The approved version of the article is final for publication.

Criteria for Publication 

1. Does the article make the original contribution to the fund of existing
   knowledge in the area?
2. Does it appeal to the scholarly community and generate discussion for
   further research?
3. Does it enable the future researchers to apply the insights and
   recommendations in their study?
4. Is the article concise, clear, and original?
5. Does it follow the international conventions in documentation and
   presentation of ideas?

Copyright 

1. Submission of the article for consideration for publication in ACJELL
   implies that it has not been published or not under consideration for publication elsewhere.?
2. When the article is accepted by the Editorial Board on the basis of the
   review committee and when the same is informed to the author, it is assumed that the author agrees to automatic transfer of the copyright to the publisher.

Fees and Charges 

1. ACJELL does not receive any financial support from any funding agency.
   It depends upon the contributions made by the authors.
2. AWhen it becomes absolutely necessary, the college administration
   extends a helping hand.
3. Printing the journal and mailing it to contributors require finance. However,
   all academic service for promotion of the academic research journal is honorary.
4. If any contributor is genuinely unable to pay the charges, the board makes the decision on concessions. We strongly believe that publication of an article in ACJELL should not be on the author’s ability to pay charges. At the same time, we do not publish an article just because the author is able to pay charges, either.

Correspondence  

1. Prospective authors need not contact the Editor since all that needs to be shared with them will be made available from time to time at website.
2. Any correspondence with the members of the Editorial Board shall be strictly avoided.
