Publication Policy

The ARU Research Journal Humanities and Social Sciences accepts full-length Research Articles and Academic Articles from authors both within and outside the university. Submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been previously published in any other journal. The opinions and viewpoints expressed in each article are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the editorial board or the publisher.

Article Review Policy

• Research articles involving human participants must have received approval from a recognized Human Research Ethics Committee before they can be considered for publication.
• All submitted manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process conducted by three external reviewers with expertise in the relevant field from various institutions. During the review process, neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other's identities. The Editorial Board may request authors to revise their manuscripts to improve their quality and reserves the right to make the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection for publication.
