Language and Style • Manuscripts should be in clear, formal English. Authors may consult a professional language editor before submission, if necessary. • Avoid jargon and provide explanations for specialized terms. Ensure that the writing is accessible to a broad social science audience. Submission Process: • Online Submission: Submit all manuscripts through the BJSS email address: bnssjrnl@gmail.com • Each author must confirm that the manuscript is original, has not been published elsewhere, and is not under consideration by another journal. • Authors should disclose any potential conflicts of interest. • For any previously published tables, figures, or extensive quotes, authors must obtain permissions. Ethical Considerations • Plagiarism: Submissions will be screened for plagiarism. Authors must ensure all work is original or properly cited. • Research Ethics: Research involving human subjects should adhere to ethical standards, including informed consent, confidentiality, and compliance with institutional guidelines. • Data Sharing: BJSS encourages data transparency. Authors should provide access to data, methods, and materials where possible, either by attaching them as supplementary files or by including a data availability statement. Peer Review Process • BJSS follows a double-blind review process. Authors should anonymize their manuscripts by removing identifying information. • Reviewers will evaluate the article’s originality, rigor, contribution, and alignment with the journal’s scope. • Authors will receive reviewer comments and may be asked to revise and resubmit their manuscripts. Resubmitted manuscripts should include a cover letter detailing how each reviewer comment was addressed. Revision and Resubmission Authors receiving a revision request should resubmit within the specified deadline (typically 2– 4 weeks).
