What is the ISSN of the journal?

IJARIIT publishes six issues a year. Within an issue, papers go online as soon as they are ready; you do not wait for the issue to close.
How can I become an editor or reviewer?
See Join Us for the eligibility criteria and the application form. The review committee processes applications and replies to you.
Can I submit my paper to another journal at the same time?
No. A paper submitted to IJARIIT must not be under review or published elsewhere. If IJARIIT rejects your paper, you are free to submit it to another journal.
Submission #
Are there any submission charges?
No. Submission, review and the plagiarism check are free. You pay the publication fee only after your paper is accepted.
How do I submit my paper?
Use the online submission form. Upload your paper as PDF or Word (up to 20 MB), fill in the paper and author details, and submit. You do not need an account.
How can I submit my thesis for publication?
Use the same submission form and choose "Thesis" or "Dissertations" as the paper type.
What format should my paper follow?
Download the sample paper format from Author Guidelines. Submit your paper as PDF or Word. You may be asked for a Word file after acceptance so we can format it for publication.
What is the maximum length of a paper?
There is no page limit. The fee covers up to 10 pages; each extra page adds Rs 100 (USD 2 for foreign authors).
What happens after I submit?
You receive a Paper ID and a tracking key by email and WhatsApp. Your paper is then reviewed, and you are told the result. If it is accepted, you pay the publication fee and the paper is published online.
What is the copyright form and how do I submit it?
The copyright form confirms that you own the paper and that IJARIIT may publish it. It is generated from the author details you gave at submission. Open your tracking page, check the details and upload a valid ID proof of at least one author. You do not need to print or scan anything.
What is Fast Track Publication?
Fast Track is for authors who want their paper published as soon as possible, for example before a deadline. There is no extra fee for Fast Track.
- Submit your paper through the online submission form.
- You receive your unique Paper ID by email, usually within an hour.

Fast Track works only with your coordination: the co-author details, a valid ID proof and the fee are needed to complete publication.
Why was my paper withdrawn, rejected or moved?
Withdrawn: the paper was closed because we did not hear back from the author, or because the author asked us to. A withdrawn paper can be reopened on request and moved to the current issue.
Rejected: the paper did not pass review or the plagiarism check.
Moved to a new issue: the paper was carried to a newer issue together with its plagiarism result and file, so you do not start again.
If you are unsure about your paper, message us on WhatsApp +91 81950 72273 with your Paper ID.
Review and Plagiarism #
How does the review process work?
Your paper gets an editorial check and a plagiarism check, and then peer review where needed. We email you and message you on WhatsApp when there is a decision or an update. You can follow progress on the tracking page.
How long does review take?
Most papers get a decision in about 3 working days. Papers that need corrections can take longer. We email you and message you on WhatsApp when there is an update.
What is the plagiarism limit?
Every paper gets a plagiarism check. Papers with similarity above 75% cannot proceed; the lower the similarity, the better. If your score is too high, your tracking page asks you to revise the paper and upload a Word file.
What if my paper has high similarity?
Revise the paper to bring the similarity down and upload the revised Word file on your tracking page. We review it again when it arrives.

Why do you charge for publishing?

Does IJARIIT send printed certificates?
IJARIIT no longer dispatches printed certificates, to reduce paper and courier waste. Your e-certificate and invoice are issued digitally to every author. If you want a printed copy, print the e-certificate on 180 GSM paper and your manuscript soft copy on 80 GSM paper.

How long will my paper stay online?
Your paper is hosted online permanently. Permanent online hosting is included in the publication fee.
Do I get a DOI?
IJARIIT does not issue DOIs. Instead, every paper gets a Paper ID that identifies it in the journal's database: quote it whenever you contact us. You also receive a private tracking key that opens your tracking and payment pages. Keep it to yourself and do not share it.
Where is IJARIIT indexed?
See the Indexing page for the current list of directories and databases.
What is the impact factor?
Impact factor figures are listed on the Indexing page.
Account and Support #
Do I need an account?
No. Submit your paper without an account. Track it with your Paper ID and tracking key.
Where do I find my tracking key?
It is your Paper ID plus the first three letters of the first author's name, for example V3I1-1150-DRS. It is also in the emails we send you. The key is not case-sensitive and ignores dots and commas.
How can I track my paper?
Open the tracking page and enter your tracking key. It shows review, payment and publication progress.
I could not find my question here. How do I contact you?
Message us on WhatsApp +91 81950 72273 or email [email protected]. Include your Paper ID if you have one.
What is the difference between the Paper ID and the tracking key?
The Paper ID (for example V12I6-1158) is allotted to your paper when you submit it and appears in every email. The tracking key is the journal's own unique identifier for the paper in its database: it is the Paper ID plus the first letters of the first author's name. Use the tracking key on the tracking and payment pages.

Can IJARIIT support or publish our conference?
Yes, subject to approval by the editorial board. We can provide a conference page on our site, a link to your conference site, promotion, and publication of proceedings through the journal or as separate proceedings with an ISSN. Send us your proposal through the contact form.
