Fast-Track Review Process
YBN University’s International Multidisciplinary Journal METAINNOVATE offers an expedited review process for authors wishing to submit their manuscripts for fast-track consideration. This process is intended for research that presents new, groundbreaking discoveries of exceptional importance. Manuscripts that are highly significant but complex may not be eligible due to the time constraints of the expedited review.
Submission Guidelines
-
Cover Letter:: Authors must include a cover letter explaining the reason for requesting fast-track review.
-
Overlap Statement: Authors must clearly state whether the manuscript overlaps with any previously published or submitted work.
Fast-Track Review Procedure
- Initial Editorial Review: After submission and assigning a manuscript ID, the Editor-in-Chief will review the manuscript within 10-14 days to determine if it qualifies for fast-track processing.
- Decision: If the fast-track request is denied, the author will be given the option to place the manuscript in the regular review process. The author must respond within one week; otherwise, the manuscript will be rejected.
- Review Timeline: If accepted for fast-track processing, the review process, including acceptance or rejection, will be completed within 5-6 weeks. This decision is final, and rejected manuscripts will not be reconsidered through the regular review process.
- Minor Revisions: If the manuscript is accepted with minor revisions, these must be completed by the author within one week.
- Publication: Accepted fast-track manuscripts will be published in the next available issue.
