The JGAPS’s Editors strive to improve the journal and ensure the quality of the material published.  They work hard to meet the needs of readers and authors. They are responsible for all materials published in the journal. The journal is willing to publish any corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed. The only criteria used for paper acceptance are the quality, originality, importance, adherence to the journal’s policies, and its significance to journal readership. Acceptance is not based on positivity or negativity of the results.
•    An acknowledgement is sent to authors within seven days of receipt of submission.
•    Manuscripts that are not prepared in accordance with the journal’s guidelines will be returned to the authors.
•    The JGAPS uses a masked reviewing system for all submissions. This journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from both sides, throughout the review process. Please make every effort to ensure that the manuscript itself, including acknowledgment, footnotes, and appendixes contains no clues to the authors' identities. All manuscripts submitted to the journal remains confidential while under review.
•    All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers who have no conflict of interest related to this task.
•    The editorial board reserves the right to acceptance or rejection submissions not consistence with the journal’s publication rules and policies.
•    The editor in chief notifies authors about decision within two weeks of receiving the reviewers’ reports.
•    In case authors are requested to make changes to their manuscript, the revised version should be received within two months following the request.
•    The journal may provide an author whose manuscript is declined with the reviewers’ comments if requested, maintaining meanwhile the anonymity of the reviewers.
•    Authors have the right to appeal against the editorial decisions. Appeals should be referred first to the journal Editor in chief via journal’s email.  Unresolved matters with authors will be directed to Academic Publication Council.
•    The editors may modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity or repetition to ensure clarity.
•    Submitted material is not returned to authors whether approved for publication or not. Authors are notified in case their submission is declined.
•    Once the manuscript is accepted, the corresponding author will be asked to complete a copyright license agreement on behalf of all authors.
•    Once your paper is typeset, the author will be notified by email, and asked to proof read it and returned within 36 hours from receipt of the proof.
•    Once published, 25 off-prints of the article are sent to the author together with two copies of the issue.
•    The Journal reserves all copyrights. A special permission to wave these rights must be obtained from the Journal in case the author seeks permission to reprint elsewhere, provided three years have lapsed from date of publication.
•    No fees or charges are required for manuscript processing or publishing materials except for colored figures if requested by authors.
•    No honorariums are paid for publishing articles unless commissioned by the Journal.
•    The JGAPS welcomes cogent criticisms of published work and may publish it if appropriate for publication.
