Submitting an Article
Authors must adhere to the Dasinya Journal Formatting Guide for manuscript length, layout of tables/figures, and supplementary materials. Submissions should be made through the journal's online manuscript submission system to avoid delays.

After Submission

Once submitted, the manuscript undergoes the following steps:

  1. Initial Screening

    • Authors are typically informed within four weeks if their manuscript is not proceeding to peer review.
