Editorial Policies

The International Journal of Humanities and Sustainable Innovation (IJHSI) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that welcomes manuscripts adhering to our author guidelines. All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial screening by the editorial team to evaluate scientific content, formatting, and relevance to the journal's scope, ensuring they align with the intersection of humanities and sustainable innovation. Manuscripts deemed suitable are then subjected to a blinded peer review conducted by experts in the relevant humanistic and sustainability fields. All correspondence regarding submissions will be conducted via email.

Strict confidentiality is maintained throughout the review process to protect the identities of both authors and reviewers. Authors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest related to their manuscripts at both initial and final submission stages. Any potential biases that may influence the manuscript's content, such as affiliations with organizations advocating specific sustainable practices, funding from institutions with particular ideological stances, or partnerships in related initiatives, must be clearly stated. This information will be included in the published article, if applicable. Authors must provide evidence of relevant ethical review board approval (e.g., for studies involving human subjects or cultural heritage) upon request from the editorial team.

Upon acceptance, authors will be required to sign a copyright agreement, granting the International Journal of Humanities and Sustainable Innovation the first publication rights and permission to disseminate the article through global databases and libraries. While the journal retains these rights, authors maintain copyright of their work and will be acknowledged for any utilization of their material by the journal post-publication. This ensures authors retain ownership of their intellectual contributions while allowing for broad accessibility.

International Journal of Humanities and Sustainable Innovation follows a continuous publication model, where articles are published immediately upon acceptance. Articles published in a calendar year will subsequently be submitted for indexing purposes. All published articles are freely accessible to the global scientific community, eliminating the need for authors to obtain permission for off-prints from the journal. This open-access model promotes the widespread dissemination of research at the intersection of humanities and sustainability.

By adhering to these editorial policies, the International Journal of Humanities and Sustainable Innovation aims to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and contribute to the advancement of research that leverages humanistic insights for a more sustainable and innovative future globally.
