Manuscript Preparation

Only manuscripts submitted through the PJASET online submission system will normally be considered for review, unless an exception is approved by the Editor to allow submission through an alternative method.

To submit a manuscript, authors are required to create an online account on the Peta Journal of Applied Sciences and Emerging Technologies (PJASET) website. By submitting a manuscript through the online submission system, the author confirms acceptance of the journal's terms and conditions and agrees to comply with all policies and guidelines established by PJASET. If authors have any questions or concerns regarding the journal's policies, submission requirements, or publication procedures, they should contact the editorial office and pause the submission process until clarification is received.
