All the correspondence regarding the submission of an article shall be carried out via e-mail: rocys@ici.ro

The submission process has two stages:

1. The authors have to send the full article to rocys@ici.ro, using the Sample File from: Publication Guidelines in order for the evaluation process to begin. Submitted articles are assessed by the editorial team based on the following criteria: compliance with the research area of the journal, compliance with the structure mentioned in the Publication Guidelines, and the use of the English language (articles should be written grammatically correct and be easy to read). During the desk peer review stage, articles that are not appropriate for our journal's area of interest will be automatically rejected.
2. The authors of the manuscripts that are deemed eligible by our editorial team and that have passed the desk review stage (with or without changes) are notified via e-mail about this aspect and are instructed regarding the next steps to be pursued. Upon receiving the e-mail regarding the acceptance of the article for evaluation, the authors have to send all the requested documents to the same e-mail address. At this stage, the article is sent for evaluation to a reviewer from our database, who has volunteered for this activity and has the most appropriate expertise for evaluating the content of the manuscript.

Authors are not permitted to request reviewers. In the case of manuscripts rated with "minor revision”, "moderate revision” or "major changes”, the authors will return the amended article according to the indications of the editorial team. If the changes comply with the indications from the peer review report, the manuscript will be accepted and will be published in the next available issue at that moment. If not, the article is returned to the authors for further amendments or is rejected.
