Our publication pathway is designed to uphold quality, ethics, and clarity for authors and readers. The diagram below outlines the typical stages from manuscript submission through peer review and production to final publication.
Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere, and must adhere to strict academic integrity standards.
Manuscripts should be written in clear, professional US or UK English. For humanities disciplines, submissions may also be accepted in Hindi or other languages.
The similarity index must not exceed 10–15%, and all manuscripts will be screened using standard plagiarism detection tools.
The Innovis Scientia Foundation upholds the highest standards of academic integrity, ethical publishing, and legal compliance. All submissions must be original and free from plagiarism, with authors solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of their work. Publications undergo a fair peer-review process and are made available under an open-access model. The Foundation assumes no liability for published content and may reject, retract, or modify work in cases of misconduct. All activities are governed by applicable Indian laws and subject to the jurisdiction of courts in India.
Authors must comply with their publishing agreement with the Innovis Scientia Foundation and ensure their work is original, unpublished, and that they have the necessary rights to grant permissions.

The corresponding author must submit a duly signed cover letter including: type of submission; declaration of originality; conflict of interest statement; and names of three suggested reviewers with their affiliations and official email IDs.
Authors are required to sign a Copyright Transfer or Licensing Agreement. Authors retain moral rights to their work.
Numbering: if the given chapter is Chapter 2, it starts with 2.1, 2.2, etc., accordingly. Tables and figures are numbered sequentially per chapter.
Referencing style may be any standard style available in Mendeley, but it must be uniform throughout. A DOI must be included in each reference as a web link.
