Decision Process
Submission
Peer Review
Production
Upon final approval for publication, the manuscript will enter the production stage. During this stage, the article will undergo final formatting, copyediting, and proofreading, and the journal issue will be designed and typeset for publication. While we aim to include it in the immediate next volume, depending on the queue of approved manuscripts, it may be scheduled for a later issue. This stage may take up to three weeks.
Publication
Categories for Submission
Research Articles
Research Articles should present original, unpublished research that makes a clear contribution to the field. Preference will be given to empirical work, although theoretical research may also be considered for publication. Submissions must include a well-defined research objective, a transparent methodology, data analysis, and evidence-based conclusions. Authors should situate their work within relevant literature to highlight its significance. The preferred length for Research Articles is 4,000–6,000 words, including tables and references.
Special Articles
Special Articles offer a platform for authors to explore significant topics, emerging trends, or pressing challenges in the field. These contributions may provide conceptual insights, policy analysis, interdisciplinary perspectives, or critical syntheses of existing research. Unlike standard research articles, Special Articles are not limited to reporting empirical results; they may also advance innovative frameworks, theoretical discussions, or comprehensive reviews that enrich scholarly understanding. The preferred length for Special Articles is 6,000–8,000 words, including tables and references.
Book Reviews
IJEAS considers book reviews of recently published works relevant to the journal’s focus. Reviews should provide a critical assessment of the book’s arguments, contribution to the field, and relevance for researchers, educators, or practitioners. The preferred length is 1,500–2,000 words.
Open Access
The IJEAS currently does not provide authors with the option to make their articles available under an open access model. All published content is accessible in accordance with the journal’s standard subscription and access policies.
Copyright
The journal shall retain all copyrights arising out of any publications, and only moral rights will vest with the author.
