Information For Authors

International Journal of Advanced Science (IJAS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in science, engineering, and interdisciplinary technology. We welcome contributions from researchers across disciplines including materials science, environmental engineering, life sciences, artificial intelligence, and applied physics.

This guide provides detailed instructions to ensure a smooth and transparent submission process.

  1. Scope and Aims

IJAS publishes original and interdisciplinary research in areas including but not limited to:
• Environmental science and sustainability
• Nanomaterials and advanced material engineering

  1. Submission and Peer Review Process

5.1 Submission

Submissions must be made through the IJAS submission system or emailed to contact@press.jandoo.ac and include:
• An anonymized manuscript file
• A separate title page with full author information
• A cover letter summarizing the article’s contribution and relevance to IJAS

5.2 Peer Review

  • IJAS conducts double-anonymized peer review.
    • Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two subject-matter experts.
    • Initial feedback is typically provided within 4–6 weeks.

Possible editorial decisions:
• Accept
• Minor revisions
• Major revisions
• Reject

Revised submissions must include a detailed response letter addressing all reviewer comments.
