Editorial Governance

Editorial Governance

The International Journal of Sociologies and Anthropologies Science Reviews (IJSASR) operates under a comprehensive editorial governance framework designed to ensure editorial independence, transparency, accountability, academic quality, and ethical integrity throughout all stages of the scholarly publishing process. The governance structure is aligned with internationally recognized standards for peer-reviewed academic journals and supports responsible, fair, and consistent editorial decision-making.

 

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions in IJSASR are made independently by the editorial team. The publisher, DR.KEN Institute of Academic Development and Promotion, fully respects editorial autonomy and does not interfere with editorial decisions regarding manuscript acceptance, revision, or rejection. All editorial judgments are based solely on scholarly considerations, including relevance to the journal’s scope, originality, methodological rigor, and compliance with ethical standards.

 

Editorial Structure and Responsibilities

IJSASR is managed through a clearly defined, multi-level editorial structure to ensure accountability and consistency in editorial operations. The structure includes:

  • Editor-in-Chief, who provides overall editorial leadership and holds final responsibility for editorial decisions;
  • Associate Editors, who manage manuscripts within their areas of expertise and oversee the peer review process;
  • Editorial Board Members, who support editorial policy development and reviewer coordination.

This structure supports efficient workflow management, clear allocation of responsibilities, and consistent application of editorial standards.

  1. Initial editorial screening for scope, academic quality, originality, and ethical compliance;
  2. Selection of independent reviewers with relevant expertise and no conflicts of interest;
  3. Objective evaluation of reviewer reports by the editors;
  4. Final editorial decisions based on scholarly merit and reviewer feedback.
