Editorial And Publishing Process
The publication process at MAPI is carefully structured to ensure the quality and credibility of each article. Once an author submits a manuscript online, it is reviewed by the editor and section editor to determine if it should move forward in the editorial process. The manuscript then undergoes a rigorous peer review by experts in the field who evaluate and provide recommendations. If the article is approved, it enters the editing phase, which includes copyediting, formatting, and proofreading to ensure accuracy and proper layout. The editor then manages the issue by scheduling the publication and organizing the table of contents. Once published, articles are made available through open access or delayed access, based on the chosen policy, and are archived for easy access by readers in the future. This process is designed to uphold high standards in academic publishing at MAPI.
