REVIEWING PROCESS (updated Oct, 2012)
All papers will be assigned to an Associate Editor who will manage
the review process.
At that stage, the paper will be assessed to determine whether it is within
scope and at an appropriate level for IJAIED;
if not, there will be a quick reject with an explanation of the reason.
Normally, Associate Editors will invite at least three expert reviewers.
The Editors-in-Chief are committed to ensuring that all papers will
receive three high quality reviews within two months of submission.
Below are general details for the paper, followed by
details for hard-copy submission and for electronic submission,

Centre figure captions beneath the figure, e.g.
All tables must be numbered consecutively (in Arabic numbers). Table
headings should be placed above the table, e.g.
Length: In general, articles should not exceed 10000 words (with
figures considered equivalent to the number of words possible in the
amount of normal text that would fit in the space the figure will require to remain legible when published).
Sections: Articles should be subdivided into unnumbered sections
and sub-sections using short, meaningful subheads.
Abstract:
This should be an informative, comprehensive abstract of 75 to 200 words.
One generic outline for an abstract consists of about one sentence on each of the following points (although it may not contain all of them):
Keywords:
Three or four keywords should be listed.
Authors may find a helpful starting point is to consider the terms that appear in the description of the
IJAIED scope.

Terrell (1977).
Quotations:
Quoted material of more than two lines should be set in a narrower width
than the remainder of the text. At the
close of the quotation, give the complete source including page numbers.
Where necessary, it is the author's responsibility to obtain written
permission from the copyright holders to quote or reproduce material
from another publication.
Tables and Figures:
Tables and figures should be included in the text at appropriate
places.
Captions should be provided at the top of each table, and
figure captions should be below the figure. (See section on the final
submission.)
Equations:
Equations should be prepared carefully, use separate lines and centre
each equation. If a reference is needed in the text, refer to it as
Equation 1, etc., and number each equation, placing this number on the
right hand side of the equation.e.g.
z=f(x,y)(1)
Program Listings:
Program listings should be avoided unless they are essential and add
significantly to the article. If included, they must be formatted
exactly as they are to appear - usually, using a fixed width font, e.g.
while x=0 do
Acknowledgements:
Financial support for work reported or a grant under which a study was
made should be noted in the Acknowledgments.
Appreciation to individuals for assistance with the manuscript or
with the material reported may also be included.
Any acknowledgements should appear just before the references and be
formatted in the same manner as a section.
