think the paper does not require correction. Sometimes, queries are asking for
updated information (references) or for missing citations of figures or tables
in the text.

send us your CV and a brief statement of your research interests to ijvm@ut.ac.ir

What are reasons for a desk reject decision?

The most common reason for a desk rejection is lack of novelty. Sometimes the paper
is out of the scope of the journal or it is better to publish in local or more
specific journals. In these cases, the editors will notify authors of such a
decision within a few weeks so that the author can find a more suitable journal
for their manuscript without losing too much time

No. When you send a paper for peer review you must wait for the result. Once it is accepted and the peer review process is over, you can send another manuscript.

Do all the authors have to register on the website?

No. Only the corresponding author needs to do so.
