The International Journal on Social Science and Technology (IJSST) implements a multi-stage review process designed to ensure the highest quality of published research. Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes a comprehensive initial screening conducted by the managing editor. This critical first step involves verifying adherence to journal guidelines, removing author-identifying information, and conducting an initial plagiarism check to maintain the integrity of the double-blind peer review system.

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial screening are then thoroughly validated by the editorial team. Only submissions that align perfectly with the journal's academic scope and demonstrate substantial originality proceed to external review. The journal assigns a minimum of two expert reviewers, carefully selected based on their specialized knowledge relevant to the manuscript's specific research domain. Throughout the entire review process, both authors' and reviewers' identities remain strictly confidential to guarantee an unbiased, objective evaluation.

Assigned reviewers conduct a comprehensive assessment of the manuscript, providing detailed feedback and recommendations. They may suggest minor or major revisions to enhance the manuscript's scholarly quality. The senior editor compiles and analyzes these reviews, using them to make an informed decision about the manuscript's publication potential.

When revisions are required, authors receive explicit, constructive feedback detailing necessary improvements. Authors must resubmit their revised manuscript within a specified timeframe, comprehensively addressing each reviewer's comments. Manuscripts failing to meet reviewers' expectations after major revisions may be declined publication.

Upon successful revision and reviewer approval, accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting. Authors receive a galley proof for final review and approval, enabling them to request any ultimate refinements. Following author confirmation, the manuscript proceeds to publication and is subsequently indexed in relevant academic databases and archived in global libraries to maximize research dissemination.

Published authors receive official publication notification and a commemorative certificate, marking their significant contribution to academic discourse.
