Types of Papers
JGAA publishes regular papers, concise
papers and survey papers. Both regular and concise
papers report the results of important and original
research. However, concise papers are more focused and have a
terse presentation format (5-10 pages).
Submission
Papers should be submitted to the Managing Editor in PDF format. Authors may
request at the time of submission that a specific member of
the Editorial Board handle
their paper.
All communications between the editors, authors, and
reviewers will be done by email, unless otherwise requested
by the author or reviewer. The editors firmly believe that
fast review time is an essential component of scholarly
practice. JGAA will try to keep the review time
within six months.
