  2. With Microsoft Office documents, author identification should also be removed from the properties for the file (see under File in Word), by clicking on the following, beginning with File on the main menu of the Microsoft application: File > Save As > Tools (or Options with a Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties on save > Save.

The authors may include an explanation of each author’s contribution separately.

The editorial process
On an average, 30% of the manuscripts are rejected by the editors before a formal peer-review starts. this initial rejection is mainly because the manuscript is not adherent to the required format of the journal. The Editors review all submitted manuscripts initially. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific and technical flaws, or without a relevant message are rejected. Poorly written or formatted articles will be requested to re-submit after the revision according to NOAJ format. Manuscripts are generally sent to two to four expert reviewers without revealing the identity of the contributors. Each manuscript is then meticulously reviewed by the NOAJ chief editor based on the comments from the reviewers. NOAJ chief editor holds right to take a final decision on the manuscript. The contributors will be informed about the reviewers' comments and acceptance/rejection of the manuscript.

Articles accepted would be copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, which must be returned within three days. Non-response to proof copy may delay the publication of the same article or may even get rejected from the journal.

Revision Policy: all the comments made by reviewers has to be appropriately addressed before the acceptance of the manuscript. the revision has to be done in the manuscript and a summary of correction done has to be summarized in a table. the template of the revision can be downloaded from here.
