Subject: Important Update: Status of your submission to the AJSE
Dear Author,
On behalf of the Editorial Office of the AJSE, I would like to sincerely apologize for the extended delay in processing your manuscript.
Due to unforeseen technical issues with our website and submission system, our editorial operations were temporarily suspended. This downtime has unfortunately resulted in a significant backlog and a long queue of papers currently under review.
We understand that research is time-sensitive. Given the delay, we recognize that some authors may have chosen to submit or publish their work elsewhere. If you wish to withdraw your manuscript from AJSE at this time, please notify us by replying to this email so that we may update our records accordingly.
However, if you remain interested in publishing with AJSE, we would like to offer the following:
-
Expedited Review: We will prioritize your manuscript and fast-track the remaining peer-review stages.
-
Priority Publication: Upon formal acceptance, your paper will be slated for immediate inclusion in one of our upcoming issues.
Please let us know your decision by replying to this email at your earliest convenience. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will assume you wish to proceed with the review process under the expedited timeline.
Thank you for your continued patience and for choosing AJSE as a potential venue for your research.
Best regards,
Editorial Office
