Manuscript Submission Overview
Submission Process
Manuscripts should be submitted online through the ASTESJ submission system by registering and logging in to the system. Once registered, authors may submit manuscript until the special issue deadline. All submissions that pass the initial editorial and technical screening are sent for independent external peer review. Accepted papers are published online after acceptance and listed together on the special issue website.
Research articles, review articles, and technical notes are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract of about 250 words may be sent to the Editorial Office for an initial scope check.
