Editorial Workflow

Soshum: Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities

Soshum implements a structured and transparent editorial workflow to ensure the quality, consistency, and integrity of the publication process. Each manuscript is processed through a series of carefully managed stages, designed to maintain academic standards and editorial accountability.

The workflow begins with manuscript submission through the online journal system, where authors are required to comply with all submission guidelines and ethical standards. Upon submission, the editorial team conducts an initial screening to assess the manuscript's suitability in terms of scope, originality, and basic academic quality.

Manuscripts that meet the initial criteria proceed to the peer review stage, where they are evaluated by independent experts under a double-blind review system. The editorial team monitors the review process to ensure timeliness, fairness, and constructive feedback.

Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor communicates the decision to the author. If revisions are required, authors must address all comments thoroughly and resubmit the revised manuscript for further evaluation.

Once a manuscript is accepted, it enters the production stage, which includes copyediting, layout editing, and proofreading to ensure clarity, consistency, and formatting quality. Authors are given the opportunity to review the final version before publication.

The final stage is publication and dissemination, where the article is published online and made accessible to the public. Throughout the entire workflow, Soshum upholds principles of transparency, efficiency, and academic integrity.
