The process of assigning reviewers and issuing the first notification requires approximately 2 weeks. The peer review process is conducted within approximately 3 weeks, depending on reviewer availability. Authors are expected to submit revised manuscripts within approximately 3 weeks after receiving reviewer comments. Delays in revision submission may affect the overall publication timeline. Following acceptance, the production process, including copyediting, layout editing, and proofreading, is completed within 2 weeks. The administrative process related to Article Processing Charges (APC) is typically finalized within 1 week. Overall, the estimated time from initial submission to publication is approximately 10 weeks, depending on the responsiveness of authors and reviewers and the completeness of submitted materials.

Acceptance and Rejection Rate

The journal maintains a selective editorial policy to ensure the publication of high-quality academic work. The overall acceptance rate is approximately 35%. Around 60% of submitted manuscripts are rejected during the initial desk review stage, while approximately 40% are rejected after undergoing peer review. For example, out of 100 submitted manuscripts, approximately 60 may be rejected at the initial screening stage due to scope mismatch, insufficient academic quality, or failure to meet submission requirements. The remaining 40 manuscripts proceed to the peer review stage. Of these, approximately 40% may be rejected based on methodological weaknesses, lack of novelty, or limited scholarly contribution. As a result, around 20–25 manuscripts are ultimately accepted for publication, resulting in an overall acceptance rate of approximately 35%, depending on submission trends and manuscript quality. All rates are indicative and may vary depending on the number and quality of submissions received.

Types of Manuscripts Accepted

The journal primarily publishes original research articles as its main scholarly contribution. Editorials may be published when deemed necessary and are written exclusively by the editorial team. The journal also accepts book reviews that provide critical evaluation of recent publications relevant to the journal’s scope. The number of book reviews is limited to a maximum of three per issue and is subject to editorial consideration.

Editorial Correspondence

All editorial communication, including manuscript inquiries, review status updates, acceptance notifications, and publication processes, is conducted exclusively through the journal’s official email. Authors are required to use this communication channel consistently to ensure proper documentation and tracking of correspondence. The editorial team may require up to 3 weeks to respond to inquiries, depending on the volume of submissions and the stage of the editorial process. Authors are strongly advised not to send repeated or duplicate emails within this period, as excessive communication may delay response handling and disrupt the editorial workflow. The journal does not process editorial communication through unofficial channels. Maintaining clear, professional, and efficient communication is part of the journal’s commitment to ethical publishing standards.
