The Journal of Industrial Science, Management, and Geography (JSIMG) uses a double-blind peer-review process, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review. This process ensures objectivity and upholds the integrity of scholarly publication.

Peer Review Stages:

1. Initial Editorial Screening:

   • All submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editor to ensure compliance with the journal’s scope and formatting guidelines.

   • Manuscripts that do not meet the criteria may be rejected or returned for revision.

2. Reviewer Assignment:

   • Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be assigned to at least two independent reviewers.

   • The review process is conducted double-blind.

3. Review Process:

   • Reviewers assess the manuscript based on originality, relevance, methodology, clarity of presentation, and scientific contribution.

   • Review outcomes may include:

     • Accept without revision

     • Accept with minor revision

     • Accept with major revision

     • Reject

4. Editorial Decision:

   • The editor considers the reviewers’ feedback and makes a final decision on the manuscript.

   • If revisions are required, authors are expected to resubmit the revised manuscript within a specified timeframe.

5. Revision and Re-evaluation:

   • Revised manuscripts may be re-reviewed by the same reviewers, depending on the extent of changes made.

6. Final Decision and Publication:

   • Once accepted, the manuscript undergoes final editing and formatting before being published online.

Estimated Review Time:

The peer-review process typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript.
