Publicaiton Process

The International Journal of Human and Social Dynamics (IJHSD) follows a transparent and rigorous publication process to ensure the quality, originality, relevance, and ethical integrity of published research. Manuscripts are submitted through the journal's online submission system and first undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their scope, originality, academic quality, formatting, ethical compliance, and adherence to the journal's submission requirements. Manuscripts that are outside the journal's scope or do not meet essential requirements may be declined at this stage.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to an appropriate editor and considered for double-blind peer review. Qualified reviewers independently evaluate the manuscript's originality, theoretical foundation, methodology, analysis, clarity, and contribution to the human and social sciences. Based on the reviewers' assessments and the editor's evaluation, a manuscript may be accepted, returned for minor or major revision, or rejected. Authors receiving a revision decision are expected to address the reviewers' comments carefully and submit a revised manuscript within the specified timeframe.

After final acceptance, the manuscript enters the production stage, where it undergoes editorial and technical checks, including language, formatting, references, metadata, and overall presentation. Authors may receive proofs for final verification before publication. Following completion of the production process, the final article is published online through the IJHSD website and becomes part of the journal's permanent scholarly record.

Throughout the publication process, IJHSD is committed to confidentiality, editorial independence, research integrity, fairness, and responsible scholarly communication. The journal may conduct similarity checks and investigate ethical or publication-related concerns at any stage. Where necessary, published articles may be corrected, retracted, or accompanied by an appropriate editorial notice to protect the integrity of the scholarly record.
