About the Publishing House
Where is RAME Publishers located?

When was RAME Publishers established?
RAME Publishers initiated operations in 2014 with its flagship journal, the International Journal of Analytical, Experimental and Finite Element Analysis (IJAEFEA), subsequently establishing complementary peer-reviewed engineering titles in 2020.
Are RAME journals fully Open Access?
Yes. All journals are gold open access. Research articles are immediately and permanently free to read, download, print, cite, and distribute under Creative Commons Attribution licenses (CC BY 4.0).
Which peer review model is followed?
All submissions undergo rigorous double-blind peer review by at least two independent subject experts. Both reviewer identities and author identities remain anonymous throughout the evaluation workflow.
What is the standard response time for author queries?

Paper Submission & Evaluation Workflow
How do authors submit their manuscripts?
Manuscripts can be submitted via the online journal submission forms or emailed directly to the designated editorial desk at editor.support@rame.org.in.
What manuscript categories are accepted?
Authors may submit Original Research Articles reporting experimental/computational findings, as well as Comprehensive Review Articles offering critical perspectives on emerging engineering domains.
What is the plagiarism and similarity threshold?
Submitted manuscripts must possess a cumulative similarity index of 20% or less (excluding references). All papers are screened prior to peer review using iThenticate and Plagiarism X.
Can I submit only an abstract for initial review?
No. The peer-review panel evaluates full-length manuscripts inclusive of methodology, results, data interpretations, and references.
How long does the peer review evaluation take?
The peer-review process typically requires 15 to 20 business days, depending on referee responsiveness and revision cycles.
Where can I find the official manuscript template?
Standard single-column Word templates (.doc/.docx) can be downloaded directly from each journal's homepage and within the Author's Guidelines.
Policies, Copyright, Fees & Corrections
Will a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) be assigned to my article?
Yes. Every accepted and published article receives a permanent Crossref DOI registered under RAME Publishers' persistent prefix (10.26706).
Can changes be made after DOI assignment and online publication?
No. Once a Crossref DOI is assigned and the article is issued online, alterations to technical content, text, or author order are prohibited to preserve the permanent scholarly record. Significant errors necessitate a formal Corrigendum or Erratum notice.
Can the corresponding author sign copyright on behalf of all co-authors?
Yes. The designated corresponding author holds the authority to sign the Copyright Transfer Agreement on behalf of all co-authors with their documented consent.
What are the withdrawal conditions?
Manuscripts may be withdrawn at any stage prior to final formatting and publication scheduling. Once published, articles become part of the scientific record and cannot be withdrawn. Cancellations post-payment are subject to administrative fee deductions as outlined in our Cancellation & Refund Policy.
Do authors receive publication certificates and soft copies?
Yes. High-resolution PDF copies of the published article and official digital Certificates of Publication are delivered electronically to all co-authors upon issue compilation.
How can qualified researchers join as a reviewer or editor?
Scholars holding Ph.D. degrees with active publication track records may apply by submitting the membership application along with an updated academic curriculum vitae to publisher@rame.org.in.
