Policy Details

Review Policy:
 All submissions to SAURAJ are initially checked for plagiarism and verified before being sent forward to be evaluated by an editor to decide if they are acceptable for peer review. When an editor approves a manuscript for publication, it is sent to two subject experts for review. Each article is assigned a code name, and the author's identity is deleted from the manuscript, making each review entirely anonymous.

WHO CAN SUBMIT?
Any registered student, faculty member, or staff member in any department at Spicer Adventist University is eligible to submit their manuscript as long as it is an original work and clears peer review protocols. The authors are the initial owners and hold the copyright of the published article. Non-Spicerians and alums can publish their articles in SAURAJ once they complete peer review protocols and proceed with publishing approval. SAURAJ welcomes authors from around the globe to experience the multi-disciplinary experience.

Once the author submits the paper to SAURAJ, the author declares that the manuscript is not under review by any other journal (print or electronic). Suppose an author offers to another journal while the same manuscript is under consideration for SAURAJ; in that case, the manuscript will be rejected, and the author will be blacklisted due to unethical practices.
