Seven journal titles are currently published by AMG Transcend Association and are available online in open access format. We continuously launch new journals in response to academic developments, and to be able to serve additional research communities and their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMG Transcend Association Editorial\nOffices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMG Transcend Association is headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The in-house\nstaff consists of volunteers Assistant Editors, English Editors, Copyeditors\nand Editor in Chief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Editorial\nBoards are comprised of collaborating editors who are generally employed at\nacademic institutions or corporate research facilities located all over the\nworld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contact\nwith the in-house editorial staff is mainly by e-mail and\/or telephone,\npublished on the website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistant Editors process manuscripts through the peer-review\nand production procedures; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

English Editors and Copyeditors are responsible for putting accepted content into a publishable format (full-text PDF, XML, and HTML versions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorial Process, Peer-Review, and Production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Articles submitted to our journals are subjected to strict peer-reviewing, a process which is single-blind peer-review (the reviewers know the authors\u2019 identities, but the authors do not know the reviewers\u2019 identities). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Instructions for Authors\u00a0on the website of each journal guide authors on how to prepare and submit their manuscripts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a manuscript is submitted, the submission is received by the in-house Editor in Chief who will subsequently coordinate the whole editorial process for the manuscript: peer-review, decision-making, possible authors\u2019 revision, manuscript acceptance, copyediting, English editing, proofreading, and final publication. An in-house Assistant Editor will be assigned to the submitted article and will send review invitations. At least two reports per manuscript are collected for each manuscript. Reviewers must have not published with the authors in the previous five years, and have recent publications in the field of the submitted manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Editor-in-Chief,\nGuest Editor, or a suitable editorial board member can make the final\nacceptance or rejection decision for a manuscript, usually after author\nrevision. We typically allow no more than two rounds of major revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acceptance of an article for publication, the in-house editorial staff will organize the production of the paper, which entails copyediting, English editing, and final production in preparation for publication on the journal website. All journals are structured in yearly volumes and either monthly or quarterly issues. Nevertheless, articles are published online immediately after acceptance and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
