Instructions to Authors

SPECIAL NOTE FOR AUTHORS

As part of the ongoing restructuring of the Journal of Diversity Studies and our associated publications, we have implemented new editorial policies and workflow regulations. In this process, all manuscripts that have remained inactive or unresponsive for more than four (4) weeks after final acceptance have been closed in our system.

To proceed with publication, authors of these manuscripts may request reactivation under one of the following conditions:

  1. A complete new round of peer review by a minimum of two independent reviewers, or
  2. Re-evaluation and re-approval by the current Editorial Board.

Manuscripts will be reopened only upon receiving written confirmation from the authors agreeing to one of the options above.

For questions or further assistance, authors may contact:
📧 editor@diversity.researchfloor.org
📧 editordiversity@gmail.com
