• Submit your Article is placed in the upper right corner which can be accessed when you are ready to submit your paper. When submitting your paper, in this interface, it has a progress bar to see if you have completed filling out the necessary documents and information.
• Submitted Articles feature the new and resubmitted papers by the author.
• Articles Under Review features the articles submitted and have been accepted by the Board for review and forwarded to selected reviewers.

It's possible that a cover letter will be required along with your submission. Individual journals may have special requirements for the contents of the cover letter, so check the Journal Guidelines for Authors for more information.

A cover letter is a short business letter that introduces your manuscript to a potential Editor. If the Authors' Guide does not indicate what should be included in your cover letter, you might want to include some of the following:

• Specify any particular considerations for the paper (if any).
• A brief description of the research project or how the data was gathered.
• Any earlier or concurrent submissions are listed here.
• It's also a good idea to provide any supporting information to the Editor-in-Chief (e.g. original or confirmatory data, relevance, topicality).
• The proponent may suggest or exclude possible reviewers if the option is not available in the dashboard. The proponent must justify the reason for the inclusion or exclusion of the certain Reviewer.
• Any Conflict of Interest or Permissions information that could be relevant should be brought to the Editor's attention. If any further forms or declarations are necessary, make sure to include them with your submission.

Please keep in mind that once your manuscript is received at CvSU Research Journal, it is deemed to be in its 'final form,' and is ready for review, so double-check it before sending it to the Editor.

• FOR APPROVAL You have completed the submission steps and the article has been submitted to the journal.
• FOR REVIEW As soon as an article is assigned to a journal editor for editing, it receives a unique manuscript number. For most journals, the manuscript number will be emailed to you (when available). Some journals have multiple levels of publishers. Each editor performs an initial evaluation before moving on to the next editor in the chain. The state remains with the processor until a processor invites reviewers.
• ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW Reviewers have been invited and the peer review process is ongoing. There are several factors that affect the time it takes to review, most notably the availability of article reviewers. The time in each peer review varies by journal. Please note that once the full reviews of your submitted article have been received and rated by the editor-in-charge, the status may later be reset to "Under Review" if additional reviews are requested.
• Accepted with Minor Revisions- the Editor has made a decision and requested you to revise your submission with minor changes.
• Accepted with Major Revisions- the Editor has made a decision and requested you to revise your submission with major changes that may be in line with its grammar accuracy, formatting, impact factor, and/or organization of the body.
• REJECTED- the Editor has made a decision to reject your paper. Feedback on as to why the Editor came up with such will be provided in the feedback.
• COMPLETED- the editor has made a final "Accept" and the paper will be sent to the production. At this point, the status of your article changes to "Completed" and no further changes can be made in the Submission Portal.

• Original research paper is a full length article consisting of documentation, discussions of results and findings arising from researches, completed studies and technical achievement in basic or applied research that have not been published elsewhere. A research paper usually consists of 10-30 double spaced typewritten pages of the complete text, figures, illustrations, tables and references. Research articles may also be empirical or conceptual/theoretical as in the fields of education, humanities, social science, psychology, literature and languages.
• Research note/Short communication is a short description of important current research findings or observations made in a limited area of investigation (not a full length article) that warrants immediate publication and are considered urgent. The article contains abstract, body, conclusions/recommendations and literature cited and must not exceed four double spaced typewritten pages. It is important that the author specifies that the article submitted is a research note.
• Case report is a detailed report usually in the field of medicine and health science describing an unusual or novel occurrence of an individual/patient citing the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up treatment including demographic profile. This type of report also applies to the fields of education, social science and criminal justice.
• Review article is a narrative paper providing accumulative results of many different articles on a particular topic coherent to the state of the art in its own field. It does not cover original research but provides information about the topic and journal references to the original research. It must have an abstract, introduction and literature cited.
• Methodologies/Methods these article presents a new experimental method , test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method. This article should describe a demonstrable advance on what is currently available.
