The editorial process of the Journal of Applied Organizational Systems and Behavior operates under the sole and final authority of the Editor-in-Chief, in coordination with the Editorial Board and assigned Associate Editors, ensuring full editorial independence.
Final publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief based on a structured double-blind peer-review process, guided strictly by scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, ethical standards, and relevance to the journal's scope.
The peer-review system follows a multi-stage process — initial editorial screening, subject expert assessment, external peer review, and final editorial decision-making — ensuring transparency and integrity at every stage.
At least two independent favorable expert reviews are typically required for acceptance; conflicting recommendations are resolved through an additional expert review.
The publisher and affiliated organizations have no involvement in manuscript handling, reviewer selection, or final publication decisions.
Editors and Associate Editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest.
The journal upholds editorial independence, transparency, and scientific integrity in accordance with COPE guidelines and internationally recognized standards of publication ethics.
