Review Process
There is no submission fee for regular manuscript review. However, an expedited review process is available. This process is intended to provide faculty going for tenure and/or promotion a quick response regarding the possibility of publishing their paper. The fee is €100 and the initial review process will be completed in three weeks on average.

Submission
Contributions to IRAFIE should be electronically submitted by email to editor, at editor@irafie.com.
The Editors do not accept responsibility for any opinions expressed in papers. They are only those of author(s).
