Editorial Policies

IJSRCE publishes high-quality, policy-oriented research. Work submitted to the journal must meet generally accepted academic criteria in terms of originality, importance, and rigour.

The journal values inclusion and welcomes submissions from authors of all nationalities and backgrounds. It encourages contributions from academics, policymakers, research institutes, international organisations, and other stakeholders.

In line with the journal’s aims and scope, submissions are sought from a variety of disciplines. However, submissions should be accessible across disciplines (idiosyncratic research relevant for a single discipline should be avoided) and of interest for the non-academic readership of the journal in the policy and practitioner communities.

In line with our publication ethics statement, allegations of research misconduct and suspected plagiarism, including duplicate or redundant publications, false citations, falsification of data or omission of data sources, will be investigated and appropriate action will be taken.
