Plagiarism Statement
Scientific Annals of Computer Science considers only original work which has not been previously published in other journals, nor submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Scientific Annals of Computer Science makes efforts to detect any plagiarism attempt. We use existing plagiarism detection software on the submitted manuscript. On the other hand, the plagiarism detection software cannot replace the expertise of ours reviewers.
The Review Process
The editors first check if the received paper is in the scope of the journal. Thus, the paper is not sent out to the reviewers in case that it is considered to be outside the scope of Scientific Annals of Computer Science. Then, the editor-in-chief chooses the most suitable reviewers (at least two), which will be implied in several rounds of reviewing the received paper. The single-blind peer review process is laborious and constructive and it can take up to six-nine months.
Accepted Papers
After you have carried out all final revisions and have been notified of acceptance, please send the electronic version of your paper to the Editor-in-Chief. The electronic file will be used as the final version.
Fees
Scientific Annals of Computer Science does not require any fee for article processing and publication.
