Process of Publication

The International Journal of Social Science, Management and Economics Research follows a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and validity of the research published in our journal. Here is an overview of our publication process:

  1. Manuscript submission: Authors can submit their manuscripts through our online submission system. The manuscript should be in English and follow the formatting guidelines provided on our website.
  2. Initial screening: The editor-in-chief and/or associate editors will conduct an initial screening of the manuscript to determine whether it meets the scope and quality standards of our journal. Manuscripts that do not meet these standards will be rejected at this stage.
  3. Peer-review: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will undergo a double-blind peer-review process, in which at least two experts in the relevant field will evaluate the manuscript for its scientific quality, originality, and contribution to the field. Reviewers will provide feedback and recommendations to the editor, who will make the final decision regarding the acceptance, rejection, or revision of the manuscript.
  4. Acceptance and revision: If the manuscript is accepted with minor revisions, the author will be asked to make the necessary revisions and resubmit the manuscript. If the revisions are significant, the manuscript may undergo a second round of peer-review. Once the manuscript is accepted, the author will be notified and asked to submit the final version of the manuscript.
  5. Copyediting and proofreading: The manuscript will undergo copyediting and proofreading to ensure that it meets our language and formatting standards.
  6. Publication: The manuscript will be published online and made available to the public. The author will receive a PDF copy of the published article.

We strive to complete the peer-review process within 1-2 weeks of the initial submission, depending on the availability of reviewers and the complexity of the manuscript. However, please note that this timeline is subject to change.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of research integrity and ethical publishing practices. If you have any questions or concerns about our publication process, please do not hesitate to contact us at editor@ijssmer.com.
