Submission of manuscript
Manuscripts
submitted for publication in IJAES should not have been published previously,
nor
should they
be under consideration
for publication elsewhere in any form. An undertaking to this effect should
accompany the manuscript.
To submit a manuscript, please send
it as a word document attachment via email to the editor-in-chief on: ijaes2011@yahoo.com
Once a submission has been completed, the manuscript will be screened by our in-house editorial committee to decide whether or not to proceed for further peer-reviewing of the submitted manuscript. Following this procedure and based on the initial evaluation of members of our in-house committee, the manuscript will undergo blind peer-review. The peer-reviewers provide their feedback concerning their respective perceptions of the manuscript through filling in a detailed review report. While important consideration is given to peer-reviewers’ feedback, the final decision to publish articles in IJAES rests with the editor-in-chief.

1.
Use
Times New Roman regular font size 11 for the body of the article and font size
10 for the abstract. Headings and subheadings should appear in bold.
