Complaints and Appeals

The Journal of Social Sciences and Media Studies (JOSSAMS) provides a transparent mechanism for handling complaints and appeals related to editorial decisions, peer review, publication ethics, or journal processes.

Authors who wish to appeal an editorial decision should submit a reasoned explanation addressing the concerns raised during evaluation.

Appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an appropriate editorial authority who was not directly involved in the original decision, where possible.

Complaints related to ethical issues, reviewer conduct, or editorial procedures are investigated fairly and confidentially.

JOSSAMS aims to resolve complaints within a reasonable timeframe while maintaining academic integrity and transparency.
