The BEU J SCI & TECHNOL has set a rapid publication principle to respond quickly to authors after submission (approximately two weeks for the first decision). In addition, the first submission procedure is simplified to help authors. In other words, in the first submission articles may be submitted in any desired format and the journal format is requested only after the peer review is completed.
Accepted manuscripts should be edited according to our journal publishing format before publication. Articles that are not edited according to the publishing format will not be published even if accepted.
