Publication Process

This journal uses Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.1.1.4, an open-source journal management and publishing platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) under the GNU General Public License. OJS provides an integrated workflow for managing submissions, peer review, editing, and online publication, ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the editorial process.

The editorial and publishing process in JIBEP involves the following stages:

• Submission: Authors upload manuscripts and enter metadata for indexing.
• Editorial Assignment: The Section Editor is assigned to oversee the review and decision process.
• Peer Review: Manuscripts are reviewed by experts to ensure academic quality and originality.
• Editing: Copyediting and layout formatting are performed to ensure clarity, consistency, and presentation quality.
• Proofreading: Final checks are conducted before publication.
• Publication & Archiving: Approved articles are published with DOIs, indexed, and preserved in digital archives.
