comply with the guidelines for authors.

an article is not published within 4 months from the date of submission, the
author(s) may withdraw the article with prior permission from the Editor
or
keep
the article with the Institute for future publication, unless it is rejected.
The

of the Journal.
The
Editor has the right to modify / edit any content / title of the submitted
article to suit the need of the Journal, without affecting the spirit of the
article.
