The review process for the International Journal of Holistic Management Perspectives (IJHMP) involves several key steps to ensure the quality, integrity, and relevance of the articles published. Below is a proposed review process:

1. Submission of Manuscripts

  • Online Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts through the journal's online submission system, which includes details such as title, abstract, keywords, author information, and the full manuscript.
  • Initial Screening: The journal's editorial office performs an initial screening to ensure that the submission meets the journal's formatting and scope requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria are returned to the authors with feedback for revisions.

2. Assignment to Editor

  • Editor Assignment: Once a manuscript passes the initial screening, it is assigned to an Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor with expertise in the manuscript's subject area.
  • Conflict of Interest Check: The editor checks for potential conflicts of interest. If any exist, the manuscript is reassigned to another editor.

3. Peer Review Selection

  • Reviewer Selection: The editor selects 2-3 independent reviewers who are experts in the manuscript's topic. Reviewers are selected based on their qualifications, previous review experience, and lack of conflicts of interest.
  • Invitation to Review: Reviewers are invited via the journal's online system, and they are provided with the manuscript, review guidelines, and a timeline for completion (typically 3-4 weeks).

4. Peer Review Process

  • Double-Blind Review: IJHMP follows a double-blind review process, meaning that both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other.
  • Review Criteria: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on criteria such as originality, relevance, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, contribution to the field, and alignment with the journal's scope.
  • Reviewer Reports: Reviewers provide detailed reports, including comments for the authors and confidential comments for the editor. They may recommend one of the following actions: accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject.

5. Editorial Decision

  • Editor’s Assessment: The editor reviews the reviewers' reports and makes a decision. If the reviewers' opinions differ significantly, the editor may seek additional reviews or make a decision based on their assessment.
  • Decision Communication: The editor communicates the decision to the authors through the journal's submission system. If revisions are required, detailed feedback is provided to guide the authors in making the necessary changes.

6. Revision Process

  • Author Revisions: Authors are given a specific timeframe (typically 2-4 weeks) to revise their manuscript based on the reviewers' feedback. Revised manuscripts are resubmitted through the online system.
  • Second Review (if applicable): If major revisions were requested, the revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for a second round of review.

7. Final Decision

  • Final Evaluation: After the revision (or second review), the editor makes the final decision on the manuscript's acceptance. The final decision can be accept, minor revisions, or reject.
  • Proofreading and Formatting: Accepted manuscripts undergo a final round of proofreading and formatting for publication.

8. Publication

  • Online Publication: Once the manuscript is finalized, it is published online in the next issue of IJHMP. The corresponding author is notified, and the article is made available on the journal's website.
  • Archiving: The article is archived in the journal's database, and indexing services are notified for inclusion.

9. Post-Publication

  • Author Feedback: Authors may provide feedback on the review process to help the journal improve.
  • Review Quality Monitoring: The editorial board periodically reviews the quality of the peer review process and reviewer performance to maintain high standards.

This process ensures that the International Journal of Holistic Management Perspectives (IJHMP) maintains rigorous academic standards and publishes high-quality research that contributes to the field of holistic management.
