Manuscript Preparation
Potential authors should submit a full manuscript via email to: info@opqc.org as a Microsoft Word and PDF attachment. A brief cover letter along with a biographical sketch should be included in the email body.
No template is required as our editorial team will take care of the formatting and typesetting. Before you submit your manuscript, the following author’s guidelines which include detailed information on manuscript preparation, and publication process should be considered. Our Editorial Board, and invited external peer reviewers, will evaluate submissions according to the following criteria:
- All manuscripts must be written in English language.
- Manuscripts must not be published previously or has been simultaneously submitted to other journals.
- Research ethics and integrity are expected from all authors. All form of plagiarism are strictly prohibited in our publications, and any attempt yields to blacklisting as all submitted manuscripts will be screened for plagiarism using a specialized software.
- Your manuscript must be either a systematic study that reports the results of a scientific research, or an extensive technical/literature review. Experimental and testing results, and any other analysis must follow the highest technical standards.
Overview of the Editorial Process
The editorial process is directly supervised by the journal's Editor in Chief who works together with the associate editors to coordinate the peer-review process. The peer reviewers then evaluate the paper and decide whether the work meets the editorial criteria of Oakland Publishing Journals and the scope of the journal to which the paper is submitted to. After serious examination by the Editorial Team, a decision email is sent to the corresponding author which conveys the editorial decision based on the accompanied comments (from the reviewers and editor). The possible editorial decisions are:
Accept
Accept with minor revision
Accept with major revision
Reject
Paper Acceptance: Upon paper acceptance, the corresponding author will be notified immediately, and the manuscript will undergo a final round of proofreading to ensure that it will be efficiently handled by our production team. The authors will then be sent a bill via email queried and allowed to make any final minor revisions that are needed. If the paper is accepted with minor or major revisions, the author will be granted two weeks to revise the paper and prepare it for re-submission. The paper will undergo another round of review to make sure that all the comments raised by the reviewers have been addressed and responded to appropriately.
Language Editing and Technical Writing
On many occasions, the technical content of the manuscript is appropriate and accepted for publication, however, the manuscript is returned for language issues. Since English is the standard language of our journals, non-English native speaking authors are advised to have their manuscripts proofread and checked for grammar and punctuation by a native speaking person(s), or by an editing service company. We at Oakland Publishing and Quality Conferences have a distinguished English language Editing Team that promises a perfect technical language and formatting to make your manuscript publication-ready in minimal time and at reasonable prices.
Article Processing Fees
The processing fee of accepted articles is $260 per manuscript. This fee includes typesetting and all editorial charges in addition to a free copy of the volume shipped via USPS (United States Postal Services) standard shipping to the author’s country.
Article Archiving and Indexing
