Editorial Process

Peer Review

Manuscripts are evaluated through a structured editorial and peer-review process appropriate to the journal's publication policies.

The International Journal of Scientific and Management Frontiers (IJSMF) is committed to a fair, rigorous, and transparent evaluation of every submission. Manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening for scope, quality, and compliance, and suitable manuscripts proceed to review appropriate to the journal's publication policies. Editorial decisions are based on the scholarly content, relevance, originality, and quality of submitted manuscripts.

Review model being finalized

The specific peer-review model applied by IJSMF is being finalized as part of the journal's publication policy. The confirmed model and its detailed workflow will be published on this page. A reviewer-assignment and review-tracking system is being implemented to support the process.
