ETASR indexed in Scopus

14 November 2022

ETASR was submitted for evaluation to Scopus in December 2021. We received feedback from them in February 2022 and their answer was that even though ETASR "fulfills the criteria for inclusion in Scopus", they object to us not showing the dates of submission, revision and acceptance for each paper and thus they want us to add these "to support the peer review procedure" and then resubmit for evaluation in "six month’s time.". So we implemented what was requested from us, and we resubmitted our journal for evaluation in September 2022.

Finally, ETASR has been accepted for indexing in Scopus on November 13, 2022. According to their acceptance email: "all recently accepted titles are listed separately in the Scopus Title list within 1 month after acceptance, see the second tab 'Accepted titles'. If you can't find your title there, please check the tab 'Scopus sources'. "

So, ETASR should be fully visible in Scopus within 1 month.

ETASR NEW TEMPLATE

05 October 2022

We will be bringing forward a new template (effective after 2023).
We have tried to incorporate several minor fixes in this new template based on community feedback and our own experience.

Most notably:
- The author section is single column with authors appearing one under the other.
- The first name of authors is no longer abbreviated.
- The title, subtitle, authors and affiliation fields are left-aligned
- The affiliations fiels is now the same font size with the authors field but the authors field uses bold fonts.
- A statement regarding the use of diacritics in title, abstract and author fields has been added.
- Equations are now fully justified.
- Section titles and table headers styles now use "All caps" (instead of small caps).
- We have added a new style for computer code segments that uses a fixed width font.

New Template Uploaded

15 February 2022

We have uploaded a new template that includes the dates related to the handling of each manuscript (i.e. received, revised, accepted).

A combination of "shift+control+R" may also be used.

Please note that:
- different browsers may use different shortcut keys for refresh and hard refresh.
- the same browser may use different shortcut keys on different systems (e.g. Windows or Mac).
- shortcut keys are user defined in several browsers.

ETASR joined Crossref. DOIs assigned to all our articles

07 November 2020

ETASR has now joined Crossref. Through our membership we are now able to assign DOIs to all our published articles. DOIs are autogenerated by our system and we have chosen the simplest possible form for them. Our assigned prefix is 10.48084 and our chosen suffix is consisted of our initials (etasr) followed by a dot and the article ID number. Each article's DOI is autogenerated the very first time its abstract page is viewed by someone. All generated DOIs are automatically registered in Crossref in regular intervals (1-2 days max). This means that it is possible that you may find a non-resolving DOI if you happen to be the very first person that views this paper after our Crossref registration and you decide to check this DOI immediately after viewing. This is part of normal procedure and it shouldn't worry you. Just wait a few hours and the DOI will be automatically registered.
