in-house team, handle your paper and manage the publication process end-to-end,
giving your research the editorial support it deserves.”
AJR comments: We suggest you use APA
edition 7 at submission. Heliyon also requires you to provide the names of
experts to review your paper. The submission and tracking system does not allow
direct contact with your paper’s editor, only Elsevier’s support staff. This is
a big negative with this journal as reviews are now dragging into the months,
with authors having no easy, direct access to your paper’s editor. Also,
recently a paper went through two different review processes, with two
different sets of reviewers each time. We have never seen this done before. Your
submission ease or difficulty seems to be dependent on which editor you draw,
with education papers a bit easier to get through their process. What is
interesting in the submission process is you are allowed to enter names of
individuals you do NOT want as an editor or reviewer. Our list is getting
longer. Finally, if your paper is accepted it heads off to India. Here they
format it for Heliyon and send you a proof with questions. Good luck with this
as in the last paper we did, it took 4 email exchanges to change the faculty
name of one of the authors. Also, getting the payment into their system and
getting acknowledgment is painfully slow. Heliyon loves bureaucracy as does its direct competitor, Sage Open.
The Declaration of Interests tool should always be completed.
The resulting Word document containing your declaration should be uploaded at the “attach/upload files” step in the submission process. It is important that the Word document is saved in the .doc/.docx file format. Author signatures are not required.
We advise you to read our policy on conflict of interest statements, funding source declarations, author agreements/declarations and permission notes.
