Before submitting your manuscript, you are strongly encouraged to reassess it using the Manuscript Readiness Level (MRL), an instrument designed to help authors estimate the effective duration of the peer-review process.

Notes: The Manuscript Readiness Level (MRL) above is used by authors as a "tool" to optimize the peer-reviewing process. The decision to accept or reject an article for publication in AJIE is the authority of the Editor based on recommendations from reviewers.
