1. Papers will be submitted at
the following email address:
contact@rmee.org |
| |
|
2. Manuscript Submission and
Preparation |
|
Papers must be submitted
electronically and their length
should not exceed 6000 words
(including references), although
in some cases, involving mainly
the reporting of qualitative
data, longer versions may be
accepted. Each submission should
be made in a Microsoft Word file
using the Template file. This
file could be downloaded from
this web page. The papers must
be submitted in English. |
|
Original manuscripts (not under
review, accepted and/or
published elsewhere) are
welcome. Please attach to every
submission a letter confirming
that all authors have agreed to
the submission and that the
article is not currently being
considered for publication by
any other journal. |
| |
|
3. Authors will receive
electronic acknowledgement of
the submission of their
manuscript within 1 week.
|
|
|
4. The Editor-in-Chief will
oversee the paper and will make
an Initial Editorial Decision (IED),
regarding whether the manuscript
is eligible to be sent out for
review. The IED will be
communicated to authors by the
Editor-in-Chief within 3 weeks
after submission. Articles that
deviate significantly from the
RMEE style guidelines; that do
not fit with RMEE' editorial
policy; or are clearly not of
sufficient quality to be
potentially publishable in RMEE
will not be sent out for review
and their authors will be
accordingly notified.
|
|
|
5. Papers that are considered
eligible for review will be send
out to up to 3 (usually 2)
reviewers selected by the
Editor-in-Chief. |
|
|
6. Papers will be reviewed by
members of the Editorial Board
and other expert reviewers. |
|
|
7. The Editor-in-Chief is
responsible for reading the
paper in the light of reviewers'
reports and making an Editorial
Decision (ED) in the form of a
written letter addressed to the
authors. |
|
The entire review process (steps
#1-#7) should be completed
within 10 weeks. |
|
|
8. If the editorial decision is
"revise and resubmit", the paper
will need to be revised and
resubmitted within 6 months
after the decision has been
announced to authors. In
exceptional cases, an extension
may be granted. |
|
|
9. Revised papers should be
emailed as Microsoft Word
attachments to the same email
address. Acknowledgement of
receipt will be made within 1
week. Steps #5 and #6 are
repeated. |
|
|
10. The Editor-in-Chief will
forward the revised paper to the
same reviewers for a second
review. |
|
|
11. At the end of the second
reviewing cycle, the
Editor-in-Chief will need to
make a final Editorial Decision
i.e., "accept" or "reject". In
exceptional circumstances, a
third reviewing cycle may take
place. |
|
|
12. Copyright |
|
Before publication authors are
requested to assign
copyright to AMIER, subject to retaining
their right to reuse the
material in other publications
written or edited by themselves
and due to be published
preferably at least one year
after initial publication in the
RMEE. |
|
|
13. Proofs and Offprints |
|
Authors will receive proofs of
their articles, a copy of the
journal (each) and a pdf file of
their article for personal use. |
|
|
14. If authors want to inquire
about the stage of the reviewing
process their paper is in, or
want to raise any other issues
with regard to the review
process, they should contact the
Co-editor, at
calin.otel@mis.utcluj.ro.
They should expect to receive a
fast response. |
