All research papers published in the journal are subject to a two-step review. First, the acceptability of the paper will be assessed by the Editorial Board based on the Abstract. If considered, the author will be asked to submit the full paper. Second, the paper will undergo blind peer review by subject experts. Initial decision regarding acceptability for publication will be communicated within 07 days of submission of Abstract. Publication of the paper, however, will be only after peer review and revisions if any, necessitated during that process. The publication process time is around 8-12 weeks.

Periodicity of Publication

EJSSS shall be published tri-annually, i.e., once in four months, August-September, December-January, and April-May. Every calendar year shall carry a Volume Number commencing Volume I in 2020. Therefore, there will be One Volume and Three Issues every calendar year. All issues will be paginated serially for the whole year.

Special Issues may be considered based on the recommendations of the Editorial Board for conferences, seminars or workshops conducted at educational/research institutions, when specifically requested by such institutions. Please mail queries in this regard to editor@ejsss.net.in

Dissemination of Publication to Authors

Once a paper has been editorially reviewed and accepted for publication, the Author shall be informed by email of the decision to publish. The Issue bearing the article shall be mailed to the author in PDF form, after publication. No print version shall be made available.

Advertisements

EJSSS aims to promote scholarly writing. Advertisements for revenue are therefore not in the general interest of this journal. However, the Editorial Board, with the consent of Editor-in-Chief, may consider publishing suitable notices or columns specifically concerning events of scholarly interest (for example, Academic Conferences, Workshops, Seminars, Call for Papers by other journals, Faculty Recruitment, etc). 

Special Provision for Masters/M Phil/PhD Scholars

We understand that student scholars may sometimes be pressed for time to submit publication information to appropriate scholastic agencies prior to actual publication in EJSSS. In such instances, they may request the Managing Editor to issue a formal letter of acceptance for publication, subject to having received the confirmation regarding the suitability of their publication prior to making such request. We shall endeavor to issue the letter electronically and will email it to the institution also, if desired.
