How to Submit Your Manuscript to SENTAM Journals

This guide walks you through every step of submitting a manuscript to SENTAM Journals, from creating an account to what happens after you click submit. For detailed formatting and structural requirements, see our Author Guidelines.

Submission Requirements

Before submitting, ensure your manuscript:

Step-by-Step Submission Process

1. Register / Login

Create an account at the author registration portal, or log in if you already have one. Your account is used to track your manuscript through every stage of review, from initial screening to final publication decision.

2. Select Journal

Choose the most appropriate journal for your research and review the journal's scope and aims. Submitting to a journal whose scope closely matches your research reduces the likelihood of a desk rejection and speeds up the review process.

3. Prepare Your Manuscript

  • Format: Times New Roman, size 12
  • Line spacing: 1.5 for main text
  • Length: 3,000–10,000 words (recommended)
  • Include: title page, abstract (150–400 words), keywords (4–6), main text, and references

These are summary requirements. Full formatting rules, including manuscript structure, referencing style, figure and table conventions, and language policy, are detailed in the Author Guidelines.

4. Upload Documents

  • The main manuscript file (DOCX or PDF)
  • A cover letter
  • Figures and tables, if provided as separate files
  • Supplementary materials, if applicable

5. Complete Submission Form

  • Provide author details and affiliations
  • Declare conflicts of interest
  • Confirm ethical compliance
  • Suggest reviewers (optional)

6. Review and Submit

Check all information carefully before submitting for editorial review. Author names, affiliations, and email addresses cannot be corrected after peer review has started without editorial approval.

What Happens Next?

  • Initial editorial assessment takes place within 7 days, checking scope, formatting, and ethical compliance.

  • You will receive regular status updates via your author dashboard throughout the review process.
