The Editorial Process

The submitted manuscript will have to go through double blind peer review process for publication. The manuscript must be original, must not be published anywhere previously, must not be simultaneously submitted to multiple journals or conferences; moreover, the submitted manuscript must not be accepted already for publication anywhere else. One of the authors has to be authorized to correspond with the respective Journal for all the matters related to the publication of the submitted manuscript. The prescribed Journal format and guidelines must be strictly followed for the preparation of the manuscripts. The received manuscripts will be duly acknowledged. Initially, formal review of the manuscript will be carried out by the editors on submission for suitability to the respective Journal. Manuscripts lacking originality, with serious technical or scientific issues and not related to the scope of the Journal then it will be rejected in the first stage itself. Manuscripts satisfying the basic requirements in the first stage will be sent for technical review to two or more experts in the concerned area. Selecting expert reviewers for double blind review is at the complete discretion of the editor. The Journals follow double-blind review process where the reviewers and authors will be unaware of each other. The corresponding author will be conveyed about the acceptance/rejection/amendments needed along with the reviewer comments and suggestions as received. The final decision on the manuscript will be taken by the editor on the basis of reviewer comments and suggestions. In case of revisions, the author is requested to provide the response to the reviewer comments on a point to point basis in the manuscript’s revised version. This process will be repeated until the reviewers and editors are satisfied with the quality of the submitted manuscript.

After acceptance, the final version of the manuscript will be next copy edited for print style, grammar and punctuation's. Copy editing will be followed by the process of proofreading where corresponding authors will receive proofs of the manuscripts. The corresponding author must return the corrected proofs within deadline. Corrections submitted after deadline may not be incorporated. The entire editorial process will be accomplished online for faster publication.

Authorship criteria

Authorship credit of the submitted manuscript should be established on the below mentioned components: 1.Conceptualization or design of the research work of the submitted manuscript; 2.Acquisition or analysis of data; 3.Initial drafting or revising of the manuscript to enhance the quality; 4.Finalizing the last version of the manuscript to be published.

All the contributors should participate sufficiently in preparing the manuscript. The order sequence in which the contributors’ name will appear should be according to relative contribution towards conducting the research work and preparation of the manuscript as well. Once the manuscript is submitted, the order of the contributors’ names cannot be changed.

Reference Citation style in Text:

IRNET is following basic APA referencing style for references as follows:

All references used in writing the paper should be listed here including the author name, date of publication, title and more.

APA reference list must include the following:

• Start on a new page.
• The list of references must be arranged alphabetically by name of first author.
• If multiple works of the same author has been referred then order these by date.
In case the publications of the same author belong to the same year, order them alphabetically in terms of the title along with allocating a lowercase alphabet (such as a, b, c etc) after the date.

In-Text References

• In-text references must be included where a quote or paraphrase has been taken from another author’s work.
• In-text references correspond to a reference listed in the main list of references.
• These citations are presented using the surname of the author followed by the year of publication. For example, the work of James Jonas in the year 2017 can be cited as (Jonas, 2017).
• A page number must be added in case of using a direct quotes. For example, (Jonas, 2017, p. 104)
• In case of two authors, surname of both the authors must be stated. For example, (Jonas & Smith, 2017).
• In case of three to five authors, the names of all the authors should be listed in the first citation of the work. For example, (Jonas, Smith, & Branson, 2017). For next citations, only first author’s surname followed by et al can be used. For example, (Jonas et al, 2017).
• Again, in case of six or more authors, surname of the first author only should be stated followed by et al and the publication year. For example, (Jonas et al, 2017).
• To cite multiple works of an author from the same year, lowercase letters a, b, c etc should follow the year of publication. For example, (Jonas, 2017a) or (Jonas, 2017b).
• Multiple works of the same author from different years can be cited as the author’s surname, chronologically followed by years of publications. For example, (Jonas, 2007, 2013, 2017).
• Multiple works of different authors from different years can be cited as the authors’ surname together, ordered alphabetically followed by years of publications where each work is separated from the other by a semicolon. For example, (Jonas & Smith 2017; Branson, Coytne, & Davis, 2015).
• A secondary source can be cited by stating the original author and publication year followed by ‘as cited in’. The author’s name and publication year of the secondary author should be following it.
• While in-text citations do not vary with source type, referencing style does vary with the source type.
