1. Prepare the manuscript: Follow the journal’s format guidelines (e.g., title,
abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, results, discussion,
conclusion, references). Check for language clarity, correct citation style and
adherence to ethics (no plagiarism, proper author attribution).
2. Submit online: Most likely via an online portal or email as specified on the
IJSRTD website. Include cover letter, author details, ORCID IDs if available,
conflict of interest, ethics statement, etc.
3. Peer review: Your paper will go through a review process by expert
editors/referees. Be prepared to respond to reviewer comments and revise
accordingly.
4. Revision and resubmission: Address reviewer suggestions carefully, make
clear changes, include a response letter explaining how you have addressed
each comment.
5. Final acceptance and publication: Once accepted, you will receive proofs
to check, and then your paper will be published in the scheduled issue.
Confirm indexing, DOI assignment (if applicable), and archiving.
6. Post-publication: Promote your paper: share the link, update your
professional profile (e.g., on ResearchGate, LinkedIn), and engage with
citations and follow-on research to maximise impact.
By adhering to best practices and working closely with the IJSRTD editorial team,
you increase your chances for smooth publication and effective dissemination.
7. Tips for authors choosing between journals
Choosing the right journal is more than just about being ―international‖ or ―UGC
approved‖. Here are additional factors to consider when comparing IJSRTD or
alternatives:
Scope alignment: Does the journal publish work in your specific sub-field?
A very general journal may dilute your research’s visibility compared to a
more specialised one.
Turnaround time: How long does peer review take? Faster review is
helpful, but not at the expense of quality.
Publication cost: Are there article processing charges (APC), open access
fees, colour-figure charges etc. Be clear about costs upfront.
Indexing & discoverability: Is the journal indexed in major databases?
This affects visibility and citation potential.
Archive & longevity: Will your article remain accessible in the long run?
Good journals ensure digital preservation and archiving.
Reputation & editorial board: A strong editorial board with recognised
academics signals higher quality.
Ethics & transparency: Make sure the journal has clear peer-review and
ethical policies, plagiarism checks, COPE membership etc.
Given these criteria, IJSRTD positions itself as a solid choice, but you should always
weigh all factors to ensure the best fit for your work.
