As a member of the academic community, we adhere to the principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure the integrity and transparency of our review process.
Our journal employs a double-blind review process, where both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This approach allows for unbiased and objective evaluations of manuscripts, ensuring that the review process is fair and rigorous. All manuscripts submitted to our journal are reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field, who provide constructive feedback and recommendations for improvement.
The review process for the Journal of Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility involves the following steps:
- Initial Screening: The editorial team conducts an initial screening of manuscripts to ensure they meet the journal's scope and submission guidelines.

- Revision and Resubmission: Authors are given the opportunity to revise and resubmit their manuscripts based on the reviewers' feedback and recommendations.
- Final Decision: The editorial team makes a final decision on the manuscript's acceptance, rejection, or request for further revisions.
