Scopus feedback on rejected submission of a journal

Some further feedback is below:

- The geographical reach of authorship and/or content is still limited.
- The journal shows an uneven scholarly quality in the articles, indicating that peer review and editorial management must be strengthened.
- A significant proportion of the articles are of academic quality and do not meet international standards.
- The composition of the Editorial Board needs to be further diversified and grow for a global reach.
- Many good international journals already cover this subject area. Consider strengthening your identity and identify areas that can attract international scholars.

If these comments are addressed in the future, you may submit a new application at any time after the following date: July 2027.
At that time, you will be required to upload a cover letter detailing how the above comments have been addressed. A full review will be conducted upon resubmission, and having addressed all the abovementioned concerns will therefore not guarantee acceptance.
