Article Transfer
Article transfer is a process that allows you to move your paper from the journal to which it was originally submitted to another journal within the Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI). The goal of this system is to help you find a suitable place to publish your paper as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Benefits of Article Transfer
- Increased likelihood of acceptance: Most rejections occur because a paper is outside the journal’s scope.
- Optimal placement: Manuscripts can be transferred to a journal within CRI whose scope is better aligned with the content.
- Time-saving: Rather than resubmitting to a new journal, your article, attachments, and peer-review/editorial feedback can be immediately considered by the new journal within CRI.
- Save time for reviewers: Peer reviewers, possibly the same ones who already evaluated your manuscript, won’t have to review it again at the new journal.
- Rapid publication: Transferred papers receive quicker decisions and move toward publication faster, ensuring your research reaches the scientific and scholarly community sooner.
Papers Eligible for Article Transfer
Any papers submitted to journals of the Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI) are eligible for transfer.
Decision-Making Process
The Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI) consists of a variety of journals with different scopes. If your article is deemed more suitable for another journal within the CRI collection, our Editors may decide to transfer it. In this case, your article, along with any associated files, attachments, peer reviews, and editorial feedback, will be automatically moved to the new journal.
