Does RESTI accept manuscript submission daily? This journal accepts manuscripts throughout the year without restrictions.

How does RESTI evaluate the manuscripts after submission? The submitted manuscripts will be evaluated by the editor in charge and sent to reviewers if they meet the requirements.

Why are manuscripts rejected when submitted? The assigned editor will conduct a detailed evaluation of the manuscript, focusing on its suitability to the journal's focus and scope, compliance with the template, and novelty. Manuscripts that did not meet these criteria were rejected at the outset. The editor has the absolute right to reject articles deemed not to meet the standards of the journal. The editor is also not obligated to explain the reasons for rejection.

What happens when a manuscript passes desk evaluation? Manuscripts that passed the pre-review were sent to the assigned reviewers. Each manuscript was reviewed by at least three reviewers.

How long does the process last from submission to publication? Desk evaluation takes 1-4 weeks, review process takes 2-10 months, and publication takes 1-2 months after the manuscript is accepted.

Can I withdraw my manuscript while it is under review? The manuscripts under review are strictly prohibited from being withdrawn. You will be obligated to continue processing the manuscript. Withdrawing a manuscript while it is under review may result in a fine, and you and your affiliates will be banned from publishing in RESTI.

What happens when this manuscript is accepted? You will be contacted by the editor in chief, and you will be required to pay the Article Processing Charge and complete the necessary documents as a condition of publication.

Can my manuscript be published quickly to meet graduation requirements? All the manuscripts underwent a rigorous peer review. The editors cannot guarantee or expedite their acceptance. It is best to avoid mentioning graduation deadlines and to allow the standard procedure to run its course.

Is there a fast-track service that expedites the manuscript process? Currently, this service is not available, and all manuscripts will be processed in the order they are received.

Who is the corresponding author? In RESTI, the corresponding author is the person who submitted the manuscript and responded to the journal editor, not based on the author's request.

When will I receive a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) if my submission is approved? The Letter of Acceptance is issued only after the editor approves the manuscript following review and declares it accepted for publication. The authors should not expect this letter to appear immediately after submission.

Can I find available article slots or ask questions about the submission process or related to my manuscript via email? The editor did not respond to these inquiries.

When will my article be indexed in Scopus? Scopus states that the indexing process can take up to five weeks after the publication of an article. Journal editors have no influence on this; we do not submit articles to Scopus. Scopus independently indexes content according to its policies. If your article has not been indexed in Scopus, please wait for a reasonable amount of time and then contact Scopus Support.

How many articles have been published per issue? Each issue includes approximately 20 to 25 articles.

In which cases are the articles rejected due to plagiarism? Articles with >20% similarity and more than 100 words from one source were rejected.
