PAYMENT
 
All AIOR Journals are processed upon submission, for review. Upon completion (including any revisions if necessary), authors are obliged to complete the Publication Fee of USD 175.00, paid through PayPal. PayPal makes it feasible for users (holders of major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express) to complete a fast and secure payment. Authors will be sent a Unique PayPal invoice after review has been completed.

N.B: Articles accepted may be subjected to extensive English revisions. Please note that extensive English editing is not included in the publication fee (only basic proofreading is included). In that scenario, we propose that you have your manuscript checked by a colleague fluent in English writing, or use a paid editing service. We also offer paid editing services with a fixed fee of USD 75 for each article. 
 
 
PRINT VERSION 
 
Article publication fee does not entitle authors to receive reprints of their published journals. After the publication date of an issue, authors have the access to download the full issue and utilize local publishers for printing. Starting 2022, we no longer accept orders for hard copies. 
 
 
PROCESS OF SUBMISSION
1. Submitted manuscripts will be acknowledged once sent to editorial@asianinstituteofresearch.org. We will provide you an identification number that must be used in each correspondence with the AIOR.
2. The manuscript will be forwarded to the reviewer (from the Editorial Board or assigned independent academic) to be reviewed.
3. If the manuscript is accepted, we will send you a PayPal invoice to complete the publication fee payment. If the manuscript is accepted with revision, author's are obliged to make the necessary revisions, and upon the completion of that process, we will send you a PayPal invoice to complete the publication fee payment. If the manuscript is rejected, we are open for submission at any time, and thus you are encouraged to submit your manuscripts.
