All manuscripts submitted to the SPECTRUM Journal of Social Science will have to go through a selection process before they’re published in the journal.
The Editors reserve the right to decline the submitted manuscript without review, if the studies reported are not sufficiently novel or important to merit publication in the journal. Manuscripts deemed unsuitable (insufficient originality or of limited interest to the target audience) are returned to the author(s) without review. The selection process includes an initial screening to check conformity to style guidelines and the journal’s scope. The Editor cuould seeks advice from experts in the appropriate field.
In the second step strict double-blind peer-review process will be done by reviewers. Research articles are refereed by a minimum of two reviewers external to the editorial board. The final selection of reviewers is exclusively the Editor’s decision.
The Editorial Board members have full authority to determine whether a manuscript meets the editorial and scientific criteria to be accepted for publication or not. The final decision of acceptance is made by the Editor-in-Chief. The outcome decision of the meeting is final and will not be overturned.
The corresponding author of the manuscript will be informed of the final decision of the journal through e-mail after this process is complete.
Meanwhile, authors can track the current status of their manuscript after signing in to their accounts on the journal’s website. In case of needing assistance or having any questions, do not hesitate to contact the editorial office at spectrum @ aspur.rs
