Important Note
Please note, in order to submit work you must get approval for your abstract. You must not submit papers directly via Editorial Manager. Editorial manager will be utilized only for reviewing process and evaluate suitability of publication of your paper.
The authors who submitted papers for the conference do not need to re-submit same for the journal. All conference papers will automatically be considered for journal publication. All full paper submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. The full paper submissions will be chosen based on technical merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit a coherent and balanced technical program. The accepted abstracts of full papers will be published in the refereed conference proceedings. Prospective authors are kindly invited to submit full text papers including results, tables, figures and references. The References should follow APA format.
All submitted papers will have opportunities for consideration. The selection will be carried out during the review process as well as at the conference presentation stage if the paper is accepted for the conference proceedings. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. The final decision will be made based on peer review reports. Please note, it is not necessary to submit a paper for the conference. If you do not wish to attend the conference, you may directly submitted the paper to the Journal.
Publication cost
While the peer-reviewed OIDA journal is accessible online without cost to readers, it is not costless to produce. The papers are available to all users at no charge and links to the full text can be found in the SSRN eLibrary. Achieving open and easy access to modern research via online will require new cost recovery models and financing mechanisms. The publication of a high quality online journal is a very expensive operation. In addition to all the fixed costs usually associated with print journal publishing (reviewing, editing, data processing, printing, and distribution), there are costs associated with online publication (including software development costs, hosting, and user support). The scientific research community considers author charges as a viable way of covering publication costs.
Special Note about Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a very real problem in the scholarly research community. Internet plagiarism is an epidemic since it is readily available and can be found in every corner. If you submit plagiarized content even without your intention, you not only commit an injustice against the original researchers, but you can severely damage your reputation and be subject to legal ramifications. Now, with the click of a button, OIDA can upload a submission for comparison with content from more than 21,000 journals to ensure articles you send are original work. ScholarOne’s plagiarism checking feature makes it easy to protect the OIDA journal from publishing plagiarized content. OIDA submits your paper (s) to ScholarOne and ScholarOne’s plagiarism protection service to avoid publishing plagiarized contents.
OIDA is working with ScholarOne and ScholarOne’s plagiarism protection service lets us quickly and easily submit a manuscript to iThenticate directly from our ScholarOne Manuscripts site. Customized to our workflow, OIDA can set role-by-role submission rights and access the iThenticate link anywhere in the review process. OIDA can also pre-define similarity index thresholds, automatically triggering an email when this meets or exceeds our set value. This notification can be configured to be delivered to anyone. OIDA is also working with CrossRef. CrossRef is an industry-leading non-profit association providing comparison services to help journals ensure only original content is published. When your manuscript is uploaded to the CrossCheck database for verification, it is compared to all other articles in their database using iThenticate technology. In less than a minute, OIDA get a full report of the manuscript’s similarity to all others in the system. This Overall Similarity Index Percentage lets us quickly and easily see how unique the content of the submission is. OIDA can make decisions based on this score or drill down further to see the exact phrases and language matches, allowing us to determine if similarities are because of commonly used phrases within the field or if the author likely borrowed another author’s work.
ScholarOne, a Thomson Reuters Business, provides comprehensive workflow management systems for scholarly journals, books, and conferences. Its Web-based application enables publishers to manage the submission, peer review, production, and publication processes more efficiently, increasing their profile among authors, decreasing time-to-market for critical scientific data, and lowering infrastructure costs. ScholarOne offers workflow solutions for the submission and review of manuscripts, abstracts, proceedings and production. Supporting over 365 societies and publishers, over 3,400 books and journals, and 13 million users, ScholarOne is the industry leader. ScholarOne cannot be wrong.
