2. If you honestly think that more than a reasonable time has passed and something may be wrong with your manuscript, send an inquiry with copies of the pertinent messages, to:
vnielsen.rbt@gmail.com
Nearly all authors have no problem using our Open Journal System to send and monitor their manuscripts, but if you tried at least twice to establish an account and send a manuscript, but could not do it, watch this video from our colleagues of Peruv. J. Paras.
If, after watching it, you are convinced that you need special help, you can contact Lic. Alonso Prendas:
Phone: 2511-8984 / email: aprendasvega@gmail.com
