Only innovative materials are accepted, and priority is given to experimental and field research work conducted recently. Locally or internationally previously published work cannot be accepted

Research work submitted to the Journal is subject to scientific arbitration before publication in the Journal of an arbitral tribunal composed of two members of the scientific committees approved by the Supreme Council of Universities each in his specialty

Also, a third arbitrator judges the materials to determine the validity of the research for publication.

In the case of the materials offered needing minor or substantial changes, the editor sends the evaluation sheet with any notes from the referee to the author for correction or reply. If the work is not acceptable for publication by the arbitral tribunal the editor sends a letter of apology.

All materials offered to the journal will not be returned to their owners published or not. Upon arrival, after the amendment to the editor, the article will be included in the waiting list for the printing process, and the researcher will receive a letter of acceptance waiting for the issue of the Journal to appear.
