4. Editorial Screening & Peer Review

All submitted manuscripts are initially assessed by the editorial team to determine their suitability for IJESS and compliance with the journal's basic academic, ethical, and submission requirements.

 

Manuscripts that meet the initial requirements may proceed to peer review. The journal may use a double-blind peer-review process, under which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential to the extent practicable.

 

Manuscripts are evaluated on factors including originality, academic significance, relevance to the journal's scope, methodological quality, clarity of presentation, validity of analysis, and contribution to the field.

6. Ethical Requirements

IJESS expects all authors to comply with accepted principles of responsible scholarly conduct.

 

Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original and that all sources and contributions from other researchers are appropriately acknowledged.

 

Plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, manipulation of research findings, and other forms of academic or publication misconduct are not acceptable.

 

Where research involves human participants or other ethically sensitive materials, authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate ethical approval and informed consent where required.

 

Authors must also disclose relevant conflicts of interest and funding sources.

 

The journal may use similarity-detection tools and other appropriate procedures to identify potential research or publication misconduct.

 

7. AI & Generative AI

Authors may use appropriate artificial intelligence or generative AI tools for limited purposes such as language improvement, translation, formatting, or other legitimate research-support activities.

 

However, authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical quality of their submitted manuscript.

 

AI systems cannot be listed as authors. AI tools must not be used to fabricate data, create false references, manipulate research findings, or otherwise misrepresent scholarly work.

 

Where AI or generative AI has made a substantive contribution to manuscript preparation, authors should provide appropriate disclosure in accordance with the journal's AI & Generative AI Policy.

 

8. After Acceptance

Following acceptance, the corresponding author will receive appropriate communication from the editorial office regarding the next stage of the publication process.

 

The accepted manuscript may undergo editorial checking, formatting, language correction, and production preparation before publication.

 

Authors may be asked to review the final proof and identify any necessary corrections. Authors are responsible for carefully checking the proof and communicating corrections within the specified timeframe.

 

Once the final publication process is completed, the article will be published according to the journal's publication schedule and procedures.

 

9. Author Responsibility

Submission of a manuscript to IJESS indicates that the submitting author confirms that the manuscript complies with the journal's submission requirements.

 

The corresponding author is responsible for communication with the journal and should ensure that:
