Peer Review Process
Reviewer Process:
- Prospective Authors are invited to submit original papers not being considered for publication elsewhere.
- Submissions will be judged on Appropriateness of the Topic, Conceptual Adequacy/ Mastery of Relevant Literature, Technical Adequacy (if applicable), Clarity of Presentation and Significance of Contribution to the Field.
- All articles submitted to GSTF journals will be checked for plagiarism and must be submitted through EDAS.
- Submissions will go through independent and professional “Blind Peer Review” process.
- Authors will be notified via email on the outcome of the review process.
- Authors can appeal for re-submission (after updating their manuscript as suggested by the reviewers) for further consideration.
- Reviewers are expected to handle submitted manuscript in confidence. Editors will periodically monitor the processes and advise reviewers with respect to ensuring compliance to academic integrity, ethical conduct and in enforcing academic rigour
Open Access Policy
Journal Policies
GSTF is committed to keeping articles published in its journals in full compliance with Open Access principles and practices through GSTF Digital Library (http://dl6.globalstf.org) being fully attributed to GSTF.
Access & Archiving
The manuscripts are archived in GSTF Digital Library (dl6.globalstf.org)
Copyright for Authors
GSTF requires the author(s) to grant exclusive world-wide license in perpetuity, in all forms, format and media to a) publish b) distribute c) display d) store e) reprint f) translate into other languages and reproduce the paper g) the inclusion of electronic links of the paper to third party material where-ever it may be hosted h) and/or license to any third party to do any or all of the above.
The author(s) may use their own papers for non-commercial purposes by acknowledging first publication in GSTF Journal and giving full reference and/or web link as appropriate.
Misconduct
All journal articles submitted via EDAS will be scrutinized for any plagiarism and/or academic misconduct. In the event of complaints received against an author the board will investigate and may request the author to clarify and/or reject the submission for review.
Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication
An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
