Before submitting the manuscript, please check each citation in the text against the References and vice-versa to match exactly. Citations in the text should be formatted as follows (APA, 6th edition referring style):
Single author: The author's last name and the year of publication, e.g., (Sharma, 2008) or Sharma (2008).
Two authors: Both author's last names and the year of publication, e.g., (Gotelli & Ellison, 2004).
Three or more authors: First author's last name followed by 'et al.', e.g., (Ghale et al., 2019) or Ghale et al. (2019).
Groups of references: Many references, when cited in the parenthesis, should first be cited chronologically and then alphabetically, e.g., (Dickinson & Lukas, 1979; Singer, 1996; Adhikari & Bhattarai, 2014).

REFERENCES

The list of references should include only those works that are cited in the text. Personal communications should only be mentioned in the text, not in the references.

The reference list should be arranged alphabetically by the last names of the first author. If the last name of the first author is the same in two or more references, the last name of the second author and so on should be considered while preparing the list. Different kinds of publications should be listed in different styles, as mentioned below.

The decisions of the Chief Editor are final for publishing the articles that have been submitted. The opinions expressed in the articles are the author’s own and do not reflect the publisher's view or the Editorial Board. The author(s) should declare that the submitted work has not been published and is not being considered for publication, elsewhere. In addition, it is expected to suggest the names and full addresses (with email) of three potential referees relating to the subject area of the manuscript.

Once the print version is available, a copy of the journal will be provided free of cost only to the reviewers and corresponding authors. The charge is NRs 300 per printed volume of the journal plus the postal charge depending upon the location of the addressee.

Peer-Review Process

Following the submission of the manuscript to the journal, the editorial board will check whether the submitted manuscript is appropriate for the journal or not. The manuscript will go through a plagiarism check before starting the review process. If deemed suitable for the journal, the Chief Editor will assign manuscripts to the Section Editors for further processing. The manuscript will be sent to the reviewers corresponding to their expertise.

Generally, the article is sent to a minimum of two reviewers; and the third reviewer will also be assigned in the situation where it is deemed necessary. The reviewers are given two weeks to review the article.

A double-blind peer review is applied for the manuscript submitted to JIST. It is made sure that the entire manuscript forwarded to the reviewers does not contain any information that identifies the authors and their affiliations. The review process generally takes between 2 to 3 months. However, the time taken to assign the Section Editor and the initial quality of the manuscript decides the processing time. Besides, the time taken by the reviewers and the author's response determines the total processing time from the submission to the acceptance.

Once the author submits the corrected paper addressing the reviewer's comments, the Section Editor will deal with it to see if the authors incorporated all the comments and suggestions. If deemed necessary, it will be sent to the corresponding reviewers again to decide whether the manuscript has the potential for acceptance. Authors should incorporate all questions or should defend (clarify) reviewers' comments. However, the final decision to accept the paper for publication is taken by the Chief Editor.

Publication Charges
The Journal of Institute of Science and Technology does not charge a fee for submission, processing, and publication.
