Scope and Language
Journal of Management Economics Literature Islamic and Political Sciences (JOMELIPS) accepts original scholarly works written in Turkish or English in the fields of economics, business administration, public finance, political science, public administration, international relations, labour economics, industrial relations, literature, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, Islamic studies, and related areas of the social sciences.
The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, case studies, and book reviews.
The journal is published electronically twice a year, in June and December. Submissions are accepted throughout the year. An extended abstract is required for all works submitted to the journal.
Author Guidelines
Works submitted to the journal must be original, must not have been published previously, and must not be under consideration by another journal. All authors are deemed to have approved the content of the manuscript and its submission to the journal.
Submissions are accepted throughout the year. Publication scheduling is determined according to the date on which the peer-review and editorial evaluation processes are completed. More than one work in which the same author is listed as the first author may not be published in the same issue. Where an author has more than one accepted work, the order of publication is determined through editorial assessment.
Papers that have been presented at a scholarly meeting but have not been published in full may be considered for evaluation, provided that the name, location, and date of the meeting are clearly stated.
Theoretical and applied articles submitted to the journal must be prepared using either the JOMELIPS Turkish Article Template or the JOMELIPS English Article Template. Submissions that do not comply with the relevant template will not be considered for evaluation and may be returned to the authors.
Excluding the Turkish abstract, English abstract, and extended abstract sections, manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 10,000 words or 30 pages. Submissions exceeding this limit will be returned to the authors with a request for revision and shortening.
Evaluation Process
The manuscript evaluation process takes approximately 8–10 weeks. Submissions are evaluated through an editorial preliminary review followed by a double-anonymized peer-review process.
Works submitted to the journal are first assessed by the editorial board in terms of their conformity with the journal’s aims and scope, compliance with the author guidelines, scholarly quality, ethical declarations, similarity rate, and file submission requirements. Works that pass the preliminary assessment are assigned by the section editors to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.
Under the double-anonymized peer-review system, the identities of the authors are not disclosed to the reviewers, and the identities of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors. Works considered suitable for publication on the basis of the reviewer reports may also be examined, where necessary, by the language editor, the ethics and artificial intelligence use editor, and the proofreader.
The editorial board has the final authority to evaluate and decide whether works considered suitable for publication on the basis of the reviewer reports will be published.
