Editorial Criteria

The editorial criteria are the criteria upon which the editorials consider the manuscripts submitted to them and whether they are worthy of being published or not. These standards enable quality, originality, relevance, and that of the published research is up to standard.

Key Editorial Criteria

• Originality and Contribution: Manuscripts should demonstrate original research or new information that contributes to the field.
• Applicability to the Journal's Scope: Submissions must be relevant to the journal, both in terms of academic focus and areas.
• Academic Quality: It should be written well, methodologically, well structured and cited research.
• Clearness and Organisation: The points should be sensible and must have clear objectives, outcomes and conclusions.
• Ethical Standards: Ethical research/work standards require that the work follows standards of publication and ethical research which involve avoiding plagiarism and citing sources.
• Peer Review Feedback: In the final judgments, there is a tendency to address the thoughts of independent reviewers who determine the intellectual value of the manuscript.

What These Criteria Achieve

• Only rigorous and credible research should be published.
• Introduce integrity and good reputation to the journal.
• Review submissions equally and in a balanced way.
• Bring about social contribution to the cause of the journal so as to spread a meaningful and effective research among the readers.

The editorial criteria of the review process assist in the transparent and objective decision-making in respect of the necessity to accept, revise, or reject a manuscript.
