The International Journal of Behavioral Social and Movement Sciences (IJOBSMS) follows a transparent, ethical, and systematic editorial process to ensure the quality, originality, integrity, and scholarly value of published research. The editorial process is designed to provide fair and objective evaluation of all submitted manuscripts while maintaining the highest standards of scholarly publishing.
Authors submit manuscripts via the official system. By submitting, authors confirm that:
Initial assessments evaluated by Editor-in-Chief or designated staff focus on scope, academic quality, formatting, and ethics.
All submissions are screened via plagiarism detection software. Unsuitable manuscripts or those containing plagiarism/misconduct are returned or rejected before peer review.
Manuscripts passing initial screening undergo double-blind peer review where authors and reviewers remain anonymous to one another.
Possible Review Recommendations:
Authors revise manuscripts addressing reviewer observations point-by-point. Revised papers may undergo re-evaluation.
The Editor-in-Chief makes the final editorial decision based on reviewer reports, scholarly merit, ethics, and journal standards.
Accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting, formatting, proofreading, and production preparation. Authors receive page proofs for final review and approval prior to official publication.
IJOBSMS adheres to the principles and best practice guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The journal is committed to maintaining integrity, transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct throughout the editorial and publication process.
