About LGJSS
Editorial Independence Statement
The Litera Global Journal of Social Science (LGJSS) is committed to upholding the highest standards of editorial independence, academic integrity, research excellence, and ethical publishing. All editorial decisions are based solely on the scholarly merit, originality, methodological rigor, academic significance, ethical compliance, and relevance of a manuscript to the journal’s aims and scope, without influence from the publisher, sponsors, advertisers, funding agencies, or any external individuals or organizations. The Editor-in-Chief has full authority and responsibility for all editorial decisions regarding the acceptance, revision, or rejection of submitted manuscripts. These decisions are made exclusively based on independent peer-review reports, scholarly quality, originality, and the manuscript’s contribution to advancing knowledge in the social sciences.
Indo Global Publishing House, as the publisher of LGJSS, fully respects the journal’s editorial autonomy and does not interfere with editorial assessments, peer-review outcomes, or publication decisions. Financial considerations, article processing charges (where applicable), institutional affiliations, commercial interests, funding sources, or personal relationships shall never influence editorial judgment. Every manuscript undergoes a fair, objective, confidential, and rigorous double-blind peer-review process conducted by qualified subject experts. Editors evaluate submissions solely on academic merit without discrimination based on nationality, race, ethnicity, gender, age, institutional affiliation, religion, political beliefs, disability, or any other non-academic factors.
Editors, reviewers, and Editorial Board members are required to disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest and must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts where impartiality could reasonably be questioned. In such cases, the manuscript is reassigned to another qualified editor to ensure an independent, transparent, and unbiased evaluation. LGJSS is dedicated to safeguarding academic freedom, preserving research integrity, and maintaining the accuracy, credibility, and reliability of the scholarly record. The journal adheres to internationally recognized standards of publication ethics and continuously reviews its editorial policies to promote transparency, accountability, fairness, editorial excellence, and responsible scholarly publishing.
Through its unwavering commitment to editorial independence, Litera Global Journal of Social Science (LGJSS) aims to foster trust among authors, reviewers, readers, academic institutions, funding agencies, policymakers, and the global scholarly community while maintaining the highest standards of professional, ethical, and academic publishing across the diverse disciplines of Economics, Commerce, Business and Management, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Social Work, Education, Political Science, Public Administration, Law, International Relations, Development Studies, Media and Communication, Cultural Studies, Governance, Sustainability Studies, Digital Society, Artificial Intelligence in Social Sciences, Data Analytics for Social Research, and other interdisciplinary fields of social science.
