Publication Process
The publication process at YJSSH is designed to ensure the efficient, transparent, and high-quality dissemination of scholarly works. Below is an overview of the key stages involved in the publication process:
-
Manuscript Submission: Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts through our Open Journal System (OJS). Each submission must adhere to the journal’s formatting guidelines and scope.
-
Initial Review by Editors: Following submission, the editorial team conducts an initial review to assess the manuscript's suitability for the journal. This includes checking alignment with the journal's focus, compliance with formatting requirements, and overall quality. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected without further review.
-
Peer Review Process: Eligible manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process, where independent experts in the relevant field evaluate the work based on originality, methodological rigor, and its contribution to knowledge. Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts based on feedback from reviewers.
-
Revisions and Resubmission: Authors are given the opportunity to respond to reviewer comments and make necessary revisions. The revised manuscript is then resubmitted for further consideration. This step may be repeated if additional revisions are required.
-
Final Decision by Editors: After the reviewers' comments have been satisfactorily addressed, the editorial team makes a final decision regarding publication. The manuscript may be accepted, require further revisions, or be rejected.
-
Final Checks: Once accepted, the manuscript undergoes editing and final checks to ensure clarity and accuracy. Authors will receive proofs to review before publication.
-
Publication: After approval, the article is scheduled for publication in an upcoming issue of the journal. Once published, the article will be available to the public through our online platform, ensuring open access for all readers.
-
Post-Publication: YJSSH is committed to maintaining the integrity of published works. If issues arise after publication, such as ethical concerns or corrections, appropriate measures will be taken to address them promptly.
Through this structured publication process, YJSSH aims to uphold high standards of academic integrity and quality, while facilitating the advancement of knowledge in the fields of social sciences and humanities.
