Editorial Philosophy

Our double-blind peer review process ensures impartial evaluation of all submissions based on methodological rigor, analytical strength, and policy relevance. The journal maintains efficient publication timelines, with desk review decisions typically provided within one week and peer review decisions within six weeks from submission.

While empirical research constitutes our primary focus, the editorial team may consider exceptional submissions on other topics of potential interest to our readership. The journal seeks to move beyond straightforward reporting of survey data toward sophisticated analyses that generate novel insights for researchers and policymakers alike.
