Editorial Process and Publication Policy

Editorial Decision

Editorial staff decision is final, and therefore the editor has the right to edit articles without the author's knowledge, without changing the substance and the main ideas of the author.

Publication Timeline

Jurnal Sosial Soedirman is published twice a year. The process of review and publication takes at least four months; thus, a manuscript submitted in March would ordinarily not appear before the end year issue. Decisions on manuscripts ordinarily take roughly two months; the editing and publication process takes a month or two. When authors are asked to revise, the process may take longer.

Publication Frequency

Jurnal Sosial Soedirman has a policy of not publishing any author more than once a year. We occasionally may make exceptions for coauthored articles.
