AJR comments: The template used in the submission is very different from the template for your paper's publication. This includes font styles, their sizes and the table data. The instructions for these 2 templates are also different from the author guidelines on the website. My suggestion is to follow the template. 

Also, submission confirmation emails come from:

Dr. Ebru Elci, Beytepe University, Istanbul, Turkey

Update from submission/acceptance process:

This journal is an author's nightmare. After acceptance the author receives a 17 step list of things they must do to receive an acceptance letter. At step 11 they must pay the APC of 650 Euro. (Note: After 2 requests for the 'acceptance letter' after payment, none is ever sent.-This is the same with their sister journal CJES)

After everything is done and the APC is paid, the revision is uploaded to their ScholarOne system. Shortly thereafter you receive yet another email and yet another list of difficult and highly abnormal things that the authors must do. However, the copy editor Daniel is a reasonable man, and eventually, your paper appears online. 

In my opinion 700 Euro to get a paper published with no acceptance letter for a Q3 journal is a steep price to pay. There are other better options for a discerning author. 

Good luck!
