The Journal of State Management (JSM) employs a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and scholarly integrity of all published research.

Under this model, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on their academic merit, methodological rigor, originality, significance, and relevance to the Journal's aims and scope.

Each manuscript that passes the initial editorial assessment is normally reviewed by at least two independent experts. Reviewers are selected based on their academic expertise, publication record, and absence of conflicts of interest.

JSM is committed to ensuring that peer review is conducted in a timely, fair, transparent, and confidential manner:
