Readership The primary audience of this publication would be academicians, graduate students, practitioners and anyone interested in digital accounting research. Frequency of publication The IJDAR publishes one volume per year on its website. Accepted papers are uploaded after completing the review and editing process, typically one document every two months, Therefore, each annual volume will include 5-7 articles. Publication in open access format contributes to a greater dissemination and advance of scientific knowledge. Process Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are first assessed internally by the editors before being sent for double blind review. Following that initial review to determine suitability, articles submitted to IJDAR will be double-blind refereed by either members of the editorial board or ad hoc referees of international standing. Reviewers will provide constructive evaluations of the papers submitted. The reviewers’ evaluations will be used by the editors to decide whether the paper should be accepted, revised or rejected. A copy of the referees’ comments will be sent to the authors. Finally, in line with other open access journals, we are providing a flat fee submission structure on the acceptance of a peer review article which cover publication costs. The current article processing charge is set under the "Submit an Article" section and the authors only have to pay it on the acceptance of the article. Anti-plagiarism policy To ensure the originality of the manuscripts, the journal will use the Turnitin anti-plagiarism tool. The similarity assessment criteria will always be subject to the decision of the Editorial Team. Control of possible plagiarism will take place before the peer review begins. |
