DYNAMIC JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES, SOCIAL AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES

About the Journal

The academic landscape will  see more scholarly research being published, and the need for niche platforms upon which those findings can be displayed and denoted.  Academic journals serve as the gatekeepers of knowledge, arenas where we exchange ideas and places where academic provocations can advance. Against this backdrop, the DJHSMS (Dynamic Journal of Humanities Social & Management Sciences) emerges as a juxtapositional stronghold in the eco-system – offering a robust and adaptive medium where research activities happening within these intersected realms of academia can be channeled.

Scope and Editorial Vision

This journal covers various areas of humanities, social and management sciences that contribute to the development of dynamic capabilities. The policy is intended as a broad coverage of research which spans traditional disciplines. This cross disciplinary is an active strategic choice, since most of the big contemporary human and social and management sciences problems don’t respect disciplines boundaries. The goal of the journal  is to publish research that does not only advance theory, but also speaks directly to practice and has societal relevance. Specifically, it is seen in terms of what they term as  timely research that reacts and responds to modern-day issues.

Ethical Considerations and Publication Integrity

As reproducibility, fabricated data and disputes over authorship can all undermine academic research from being a truly trusted source. Sequel to the above  DJHSMS has  ethical best practices which can be itemize below.

Authors should warrant that the work contained in the Manuscript submitted to DJHSMS has not been published before and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Additionally, this policy also emphasizes the different formats of intellectual theft such as self-plagiarism that led to an undermining academic integrity wherever available in the manuscript-responsibilities (from rejection of manuscript to blacklisting the author). The journal's policy also pertains to issues of data integrity, requiring authors when submitting manuscripts to guarantee a true representation of the results and compliance with responsible scientific practices in collecting or analyzing data. Where appropriate, authors must disclose any potential competing interests (financial or otherwise) and other types of bias which could reasonably be perceived as influencing their work.

This policy also extends to authorship. It outlines specific contributions needed to merit authorship (which include substantial contributions to conception or design; acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data; drafting and/or revising the manuscript critically for important intellectual content; final approval of the version to be published). While doing this, it also ensures that authorship is restricted to people who have had a substantial role in writing and avoids honorary or ghost authorship situations. DJHSMS also has a transparent and robust policy that outlines what actions are to be taken in the event of impropriety as well as reinforces that all allegations will be investigated impartially. Good ethical practice is essential for the maintenance of reader faith in journals and a robust body of academic literature.

Innovation and Future Directions

Dynamic in the title of the journal is more than just an adjective, it represents a vision that encourages forward-thinking policy on innovation and anticipation of where scholarship will take us  as well as keeps in mind that publishing research findings are essential elements of scientific enterprise. DJHSMS is by design/ nature flexible, as human beings change disciplines, fields and verticals in Science & Humanities, Social Sciences & Management Sciences.  The journal is commended for being willing to explore new avenues of academic communication and respond accordingly.  The journal explores how digital tools and technologies can help improve the presentation or accessibility of research, such as interactive visualizations or multimedia elements.

DJHSMS policy shows  a hallmark of the growth mindset. As a step to improve, the journal regularly reviews its editorial processes as well as peer review and dissemination processes. We actively seek input from authors, reviewers and readers and translate this feedback into revised policies. The journal refreshes itself algorithmically to remain as attuned to the academic community as possible. The policy may also clarify intentions for themed issues on emerging topics in the discipline, through which invited scholars will act as guest editors of these iterations. DJHSMS becomes a 'curator' for new territory to explore while fostering concentrated academic discourse on critical topics.

ARTICLE  PRESERVATION

The academic publishing is a realm that the new digital technologies, and also the ubiquitous internet environment of the last decades, have enlarged unrecognisably. Journals are a core component of the academic eco-systems that have been evolving over this period, enabling dissemination of scholarly research from author to broader community and allowing for intellectual discussion and progression of disciplines. A well-known example of such journal is Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences (DJHSMS), which partly addresses these vibrant and lively interdisciplinary fields that are intimately intertwined and continuously evolving. This manuscript pertains not only an archival issue, but is rather a fundamental imperative that ensures the continuation of this research, allowing access to knowledge and the historical record of scholarly inquiry by preserving articles published within this journal.

Preservation retains prior research for the future scholars. We already know that researchers typically build on prior work, so access to key foundational studies is essential for generating new knowledge as it prevents stagnation and duplicated efforts. It is also easy to see how ideas, methods, and theories in the humanities, social sciences, and management sciences have changed over time due to the strong historicity inherent in archived articles.

Preservation protects the information loss. But digital formats provide unprecedented access to content and they are also facing extinction. Files formats die even if you can still find the corresponding files, it may be impossible to really read or fetch this content over time. Print journals continue to be vulnerable to the ravages of environmental hazards (eg, humidity, light) or pests and unintentional loss/damage. To mitigate these risks, a commitment  preservation strategy has been made, one which provides access to the intellectual output of the DJHSMS across shifts in technology or degradation of physical material that may occur over time. Such preserved articles, then, constitute the academic and cultural memory. They highlight the thinking of researchers, the debates in academia and the social context in which research is done.

Strategies for Effective Article Preservation

Depositing articles in trusted digital repositories is DJHSMS 's best practice for preservation. Such repositories are produced for long-term preservation and will be entrusted to institutions with a mission of providing continuous access, such as universities or national libraries or national digital preservation organizations. Examples include LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), Portico, and institutional university repositories. Since the DJHSMS is committed to a number of autonomous organizations, redundancy and hence resilience against single points of failure are inherently ensured.

Metadata is another crucial element of preservation. For this purpose, metadata needs to be comprehensive and accurate according to established standards like Dublin Core or DataCite in order to help describe the conten of every article. It should include information about authors, keywords, dates and subjects but also technical metadata required for access.  The very metadata for the DJHSMS encourages not just what is discoverable in a discipline but discovery across disciplines as well; therefore, such metadata should reflect this interdisciplinarity.

MANUSCRIPT  PREPARATION  AND  FORMATTING

The submission of an article to  Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences begins even before clicking the ‘submit’ button. This submission can only be made by carefully preparing your manuscript in accordance with the specific format guidelines provided for this journal. Likewise, every good academic journal the DJHSMS has a well-defined set of guidelines for authors, available on its website. In fact, these are less of recommendations than an outline for how to draft articles that meet the editorial standards of the journal.

Writing Style: The writing style should be relatively close to an academic journal entry, but clear, scannable and engaging; if using jargon explain it fully when used. The DJHSMS normally accepts manuscripts of good English, which have an abstract, introduction, literature review, methods section, results section and discussion and conclusion in a logical order.

The abstract (generally limited to a maximum  of 200–230 words) provides a short summary of the entire paper giving a general overview about what was done (aims), how it was conducted (methods), and short description of key findings each with its context or implication. An introductory section should be a clear position where you have clearly stated the research problem and what the author  investigated, besides, you ought to delineate specific aims of your study. The second type enabled a review of the  literature providing limitations in present research and articulating what findings presented fill gaps in current scholarship.

In submission, authors manuscript are required not to exceed 5,000 words  including notes and references. Page numbering should be consecutive throughout the manuscript. The manuscript should be submitted including tables and figures as a single file in MS Word document file format. It should be prepared in Times New Roman, Font size 12 for the main body and 10 points for the endnotes on A4 paper size in APA or MLA  7th Edition   style of referencing.  The paper must be written in British English or  American English. 

All manuscripts are sent to jsmsusa2080@gmail.com.

HE  PEER-REVIEW  PROCESS

For academia, peer review is paramount; after all, without a proper system of vetting what gets published, quality research and relevance would be lost. Dynamic Journal operate a single blind peer review, where submitted manuscripts are reviewed by specialists in the relevant field. They are to deliver responsible criticism and practise their roles equitably without favour.

Peer-review is one of the most crucial components of academic publishing, allowing for a form of quality control to determine whether or not scholarly work is valid, original and significant. This review will play an important role in the publication process of articles submitted for consideration for publication in Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences. That is why peer review does not obviate the possibility of a useful critique,  it merely bathes the manuscript in the diligence with which it can be distilled and honed, set to vibrate at frequency for clarity and impact; assessing its worthiness for publication in DJHSMS.

Submissions are typically assigned to an Associate Editor (AE) in their area of expertise after a successful submission  before an initial desk review for compliance with journal submission guidelines and basic aspects of research integrity. An editor will then perform an initial screening to determine if the manuscript meets the journal's scope and quality. Upon successful completion of this initial check, an Associate Editor will  invites appropriate reviewers from outside the organization.

Invitation to review is based on a short description of authors  manuscript, and  its abstract . In this, reviewers receive both, the manuscript file and instructions to implement or a form(s) for review. It usually asks them to evaluate several key attributes of the paper including: originality and significance of the research question and findings; appropriateness, validity and rigor in study design, data analysis, or interpretation; logical organization, consistency in arguments presented throughout; quality writing and presentation; adherence to ethical standards. Reviewers will recommend (to the editor) accept with minor or major revisions, or reject.

While writing their review, the reviewers will  write both comprehensive constructive feedback and the review recommendation. This feedback typically has one of two parts: it includes public comments, intended for the author and thus directed at that person which might contain general observations.

Once reviewers submit these reviews, the Associate Editor combines them. The Editor also has to make an overall pass/fail decision that will usually be based on whether the response is otherwise positive and/or the manuscript appears promising. One of the most common result is request for revision. These submissions termed as minor revisions mostly involve little changes such as clarifying a paragraph, rectifying a small mistake or adding few references. Such  includes a major overhaul of the manuscript: reanalysis of data, new experiments. If the manuscript cannot be fixed or does not meet this requirement, a decision will be made to reject the paper.

Independent of the editor's decision, the authors are usually informed about this decision, including anonymized comments by the reviewers. Defines the time period for when a resubmitted manuscript must be returned to if revisions are requested. At this resubmission point, it is important to implement the suggested changes (if applicable), but also send a response letter responding each comment or suggestion made by the reviewers and how you changed your manuscript accordingly. If the authors disagree (not name-calling, rather rational, polite disagreement) with a precise comment—justification is required by touching on how this comment can be refuted.

The appropriate corrections, along with the response letter to the comments raised by reviewers are submitted back to her/him and those changes can be evaluated or she/he can also send this revised manuscript for second round reviews from the same original reviewers. This process repeats until the editor  are satisfied with the quality. Once the editor is satisfied with all revisions to a manuscript, he or she will recommend acceptance. The Journal Board or the  Editor-in-Chief make  the final verdict, but nearly always supports the recommendation. While it is a lengthy and painstaking endeavor, the peer-review process is necessary to ensure the continuity of intelligent discourse and to uphold the Academic validity of Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences.

Post-Acceptance and Publication Procedures

Having your paper published in Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences is a major milestone for researchers. Even at this stage the road to publication is not finished. My point is that after you make it accepted, there is a broad spectrum of work  which includes creating a polished-formatted-for-publication, legally prepared and licenced copy of your manuscript. Any writers who grasp these steps will learn how to expedite the last leg of the publishing process. Following official notification of acceptance, the manuscript moves to production. After an accepted manuscript arrives at the editorial office, it is typically sent  to the journal's production crew (in-house or vendor that does typesetting and layout). If figures and tables have not been published in sufficient resolution at this point, the author may be asked to submit high-resolution versions of all figures and tables. They are also detected by checking for some special characters, math equations or any other complex formatting structure that they need to render properly.

The final stage of a post-acceptance stage is proof reading. The editor will then insert the manuscript into the journal template to generate page proofs. The proofs then go to the corresponding author or related section  for careful review. It is a final opportunity for the author to catch and correct any mistake that slipped in during typesetting. Proofs should be checked for errors in spelling, grammar and typographical errors and also for incorrect formatting of citations or any incorrect data (in the texts, tables or figures). However, in most occasions such can be waived.

Like most modern journals, DJHSMS supports the open accessibility of published articles, typically via an article processing charge (APC), paid directly by someone in the author's academic circle or institution. This selection is primarily most commonplace to be made at some point of the manufacturing stage or even earlier than.

The confirmed proofs are then returned and the copyright agreement is signed, and this leads towards formal publication of the manuscript. Article vests with DJHSMS as an issue addressed in a subsequent article. Time from an accepted manuscript to publishing depends on the number of articles recently printed, the journal's schedule for printing recent articles and how quickly it makes way through production. In such cases, the author will generally be notified and will get many free offprints or a link to a digital version of the number. The article, once published, is typically hosted on the journal's website (PDF or HTML), and really well indexed through many academic databases; making it discoverable to researchers across the globe. The process of getting an article into print involves the author working closely with personnel from the journal’s editorial and production teams.

Publication ethics

Publication ethics are essential in academia to ensure research is rigorous and high quality. Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences strives to uphold the highest standards of publication ethics at all stages of the publication process.

Authorship and Contributions

Each author contribution to the completed work must be accurately indicated in the journal for every article that has been published. Authorship should only have been given to those individuals that contributed adequately which generally means making substantive contributions to the conception, design, analysis or interpretation of data for the work. The peer review process should not be successful unless authorship was clearly defined at submission and any changes to author or authorship group must be declared in agreement between authors.

Originality and Plagiarism

Dynamic Journal encourages original research. It holds authors accountable to ensure behind its work that it is original and free of all forms of scientist plagiarism (both text, sentence and graphic plagiarism) – use of another person or his/her idea, word, data. All submissions should be original and not contain material that has been plagiary from another issue. The journal will review the manuscripts with plagiarism detection tools to identify material published elsewhere and if suspected proper citation should be applied as appropriate.

Conflict of Interest

Authors, reviewers, and editors should disclose any competing interests that may affect their own or other  work. This includes funding, social ties (relationships or other connections that may skew the research. The disclosure of potential conflicts, on the other hand, protects the integrity of anything research published in the journal.

Data Fabrication and Falsification

Dynamic Journal diligently investigates any allegations or accusations of fabrication and falsification of data in manuscripts submitted. This is why manipulating research data for the purpose of achieving a desired outcome makes this research suspicious. Authors should ensure  that all data mentioned in their work are accurate and honest.

Research Ethics

For studies with human participants, animals or when the submission is being formulated to talk about a particular environment also ethical considerations have to be followed. It includes obtaining necessary approval of the appropriate ethical boards and, in studies with human subjects.

Retractions and Corrections

The journal has specific guidelines on retraction and corrections when there are errors, mistakes or misconduct following publication. It falls to authors and editors both to rectify the record where it is inaccurate and so mitigate damage done to scholarly record. In this context, payment condition applies if the error is from the author.

THIRD  PARTY  POLICY

The integrity and ethical conduct of scholarly publishing is the outcry of academic landscape. DJHSMS, as the primary medium of information transfer, bear these responsibilities by upholding these standards. Responsibility lies with the editorial board and authors but also third parties associated with the publication process: reviewers, institutions, commercial organisations. Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences (DJHSMS), is aware that the international dissonance in academia by sectors of academic publishing includes a risk for potential conflicts of interest or ethics infractions, has established a clearly defined Third Party Policy.

The purpose of this policy is to help ensure transparency, equity and assurance of good Research Practice between all stakeholders who engage with the journal in order to safeguard verification of published research, and  the journal brand.

Ethical Obligations of Peer Reviewers

Ethical conduct, therefore, is something which this journal places a very high value upon for peer reviewers  since they are an integral part of the whole academic publishing ecosystem. The Third Party Policy of the journal including reviewing requirements to make an affirmative contribution towards maintaining quality and integrity in published research. It is the reviewer's responsibility to treat any manuscript that passes their desk as a confidential document, and will not share it with anyone or discuss the content of this article without permission from the editor, data, concepts, ideas in the manuscript.

Reviewers must also declare any conflicts of interest. It should include any financial, professional or personal relationship of the author(s) or their institute that may reasonably be perceived to influence the work. Upon coming into contact with anything that creates a conflict of interest, the reviewer must recuse themselves from reviewing the manuscript and inform the editor immediately.

It further emphasizes neutrality and unbiased reporting. Reviewers shall assess the manuscript for quality of research design, methodology, analysis and interpretation of results and clarity in presentation. Nothing about personal opinions or specific biases non-science content. They ought to be neutral, precise and helpful to the author in order to improve the manuscript. Reviewers should also check for potential plagiarism or other ethical issues with submitted work such as data fabrication and manipulation or whether studies on human subjects had ethical approval before the research commenced, animal ethics committee approval etc. The other expectation is timely reviews, and reviewers are asked to return reviews in the time frame determined by the editor according to how quickly authors naturally would like their work. The DJHSMS discusses these ethical obligations to our reviewers in a manner that clarifies the necessity and importance of their role, practicing a review process that fosters fairness, thoroughness and ultimately promotes knowledge advancement.

ARTICLE  PROCESSING  CHARGES

Article Processing Charges (APCs) in academic publishing have been resurfacing from time to time because of the dynamic nature of publishing. These charges hold the significance of financial background to help this research cloud domain particularly in the interdisciplinary subject areas, including humanities, social sciences, and management.

APCs are not directly used to maintain a rigorous peer-review system but instead, the journal management use the income generated to maintain journal websites, uploading of articles and other related activities. APCs bring down the paywall hindrances of articles which are globally accessible. The cumulative online publication fee is $50 for a single author, while multiple authors is $70. The hardcopy of the journal is available on demand, upon payment of a  particular amount of money.

Publication Fees for Conference Proceedings, Inaugural Lectures and Published Books.

Conference proceedings, inaugural lectures and academic publications are a high quality in many different academic fields. These are written by various institutions ranging from researchers and scholars. Acceptance Conference Proceedings, Inaugural lectures and Published Books must adhere to the Journal publication guidelines. Conference Proceedings Publication fee is $30 (single author), multiple authors,  $40; Inaugural Lecture publication fee,  $80,  while  publish book is $80.

THE OPEN ACCESS POLICY

Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences  adopts  practices based on open access. Scholars wishing to publish in this  journal and institutions looking to ensure that research outputs have maximum impact must know the specific open access policy that exists in this journal.

DJHSMS is in favour of open access to the fullest extent, possible as a societal goal that all people should have free access to research, for which there are only full-text versions of the papers free of financial, legal or technical barriers. DJHSMS  policy follws the definitions of open accees organized by their types which are Green Open Access and Gold Open Access. Gold open access means that  any person that has internet access can read and download  article  upon publication. It primarily includes an APC (Article Processing Charge) — a fee paid by the author or/and their institution to defray costs related to peer-reviewing, editing, production and dissemination.

DJHSMS's policy is based on three commitments: Immediate, permanent open access; full copyright retention by authors; and the unlimited reuse of published works under specified licensing terms.

DJHSMS enables immediate open access to all published articles. This means that  the article is published online in its final form immediately after it has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication by the author(s). DJHSMS differs from many traditional journals, as we do not engage in invisible hands (e.g., embargo period) and make all content available to researchers, practitioners and policymakers (and the public) at the time of publication. This immediacy is necessary to build an atmosphere where dynamic research can take place and enables results from new findings to be discussed.

All publisher functions in DJHSMS are provided without consideration of the copyright of authors — copyrights for authors remain in place, ensuring that authors maintain control over their own intellectual property rights. This is a far cry from most traditional publishing models where a publisher gets copyright. DJHSMS requires authors to retain copyright  to ensure continuity of their published work. This principle is crucial for fostering an academic environment where researchers are motivated to produce and share outputs openly without any fear of losing ownership.

Published content can be reused relatively easy when a Creative Commons license is used. DJHSMS usually apply licenses such as CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) — others can distribute, remix, adapt and build upon the original work even commercially, as long as you credit the original set of ideas. It should open up the research inputs for wider sharing and support new applications of scientific results through creative reuse (and adaptation) in new contexts, thus supporting interdisciplinary collaborations and applied research.

DJHSMS provides a wealth of excellent benefits to authors and the wider research community by offering an open access policy. The biggest advantage for you as a writer is that it will put your work in front of more people. By contrast open access articles may be read by anyone with a web browser.  Broader availability results in more citations: the more researchers who can discover, read and cite a published piece of work, the more it will be cited. Open access obviously cannot be treated in a vacuum and many studies by various authors have shown time and again that open access articles are generally cited more than their subscription-based cousins.

PLAGIARISM  POLICY

All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using known software tools at the time of submission. These tools scan the text against a comprehensive database of published content to detect any potential plagiarism. It works as a filter to maintain the journal academic quality.

The editorial board oversees the peer review process and will look into any suspected plagiarism in the paper. Reviewers can then be asked to assess originality and flag potential ethical misconduct. Not all plagiarism is the same, and they can be divided into several categories:

Direct Plagiarism: Restating word-for-word from a source, but not putting it in “quotes” or citing.

Self-plagiarism: This  is a form of plagiarism where author reuses parts or whole phrase from his/her previous publication work without its citation in the current submission.

Mosaic Plagiarism – When a source is being quoted but is not in quotation marks, or where the copied text is mixed with a persons work without any attribution.

Inadvertent plagiarism: Failure to credit publications, including cases where there was no intent of fraud.

 EDITING POLICY

However, exchange of knowledge through scientific progress is  essential for the rich areas of humanities and social and management sciences is critically dependent on rigorous processes employed by this journal. Academic lifelines, such as peer review for research with a global reach or the need to assure originality and rigor before it is disseminated provide these gatekeepers. The Dynamic Journal of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences is  such a reputable  journal that is  dedicated to interdisciplinary communication.

DJHSMS has an editing policy, and its effectiveness is related to this editing policy that can easily be understood. The information policy is not simply a guideline for how the journal operates, but rather it is one of the main principles of this journal and without it, there is no credibility or academic integrity affiliated with its content.

LANGUAGE AND STYLE EDITING

The DJHSMS is  serious about the scientific and ethical rigor of submission but also  emphasis on the clarity, coherence, and language of the manuscripts. Editing the national language and style to clearly present research to the international academic community as part of its editorial policy. Authors are expected to write accurate.

Authors are required to be precise, direct and conventionally conforming copyeditors, proofread for grammar, spelling, punctuation and awkward sounding sentences. They give consistent terminology, acronyms and technical language. They are designed to point out anything that removes barriers, particularly language that could make it especially torturous for a reader to grasp the research.
