Human Resource Management :

Human resource management is a branch of applied management. Its authority is much more limited than the economic sphere since it focuses on specific corporate work. Human resource management is a contemporary general term used to describe the management and development of employees in an organization. Therefore, human resource management is focused on several key areas, including Recruitment and staffing, Compensation and benefits, Training and learning, Workforce and employee relations, and Organizational Development.

Marketing Management :

Marketing management is an organizational discipline that focuses on the practical application of marketing orientation, techniques, and methods within the company and organization and on managing the company's marketing resources and activities.

Financial management :

Financial management is a branch of applied management that preserves the economic function of a business. Financial management is mainly on certain episodic events such as formation, capital issuance, significant expansions, mergers, recognition, and liquidation in the company's life cycle.

Operational management :

Operations management is the administration of business practices to create an organization's highest possible efficiency level. Operations management involves converting materials and labor into goods and services as efficiently as possible.

Strategic Management :

Strategic management is making an organization's decisions and actions to achieve its long-term goals. Strategic management includes several scopes in its administration, including environmental analysis, determination of vision & mission and objectives, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, evaluation and control, innovation, and adaptation. All these aspects are interrelated and are an integral part of strategic management to achieve the organization's long-term goals.

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to the West Science Economic and Entrepreneurship Journal are peer-reviewed. The initial incoming manuscript will be evaluated for the template's suitability, focus, and scope. Manuscripts that editors have considered in chief that do not meet editorial standards will be returned to the author. Meanwhile, manuscripts that have met editorial criteria and bars will be forwarded to the editor's section for review. If the manuscript is declared to have passed the initial editorial, the manuscript will be submitted to the reviewer using the blind review method. In the next stage, the review results will be sent back to the editor section to be forwarded to the author. Then the author will send the manuscript revision results back according to the reviewer's suggestion to the editor section, which will be submitted to the reviewer by the editor section. The process continues until the script gets a recommendation accepted by the reviewer. If the manuscript has been declared carried, the next stage will be forwarded to the copy editor, layout editor, proofreading, and the final step is publishing.

All manuscripts to be published are manuscripts that have passed journal editing. The Editor in Chief can decide which manuscripts to post in the Journal of West Science Economic and Entrepreneurship Journal. 

Authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity by separating the title page and the body of the manuscript.

The article review process usually takes an average of 1-2 weeks. This review period depends on the duration of the editor and reviewer in reviewing the manuscript.

  • The manuscript's revision is the author's responsibility, and the non-conforming manuscript will be returned by the corresponding author, who corresponds to the corresponding author registered in the system.

Publication Ethics

  • ETHICAL POLICY FOR AUTHORS

It is entirely the author's responsibility to ensure that every manuscript submitted to WSEE includes: guaranteed originality, recognized assistance from co-authors and editors, necessary citations, and is entirely free from plagiarism. The author must understand that plagiarism occurs in various forms, including improper paraphrasing, which can lead to misinterpretation of the source. In addition, authors should be careful when deliberately publishing information that may harm the person mentioned in their academic work. This information cannot be made public without the written and express permission of the persons associated with the data.

WSEE uses a stringent code of conduct on how to spread knowledge. It is always with a deep editorial awareness that all published manuscripts must meet highly qualified academic standards to protect the integrity of the Journal and the author. In addition, as part of a worldwide network of open journals, WSEE is also committed to providing free editions with high-quality publications by the rules of writing scientific papers.

  • ETHICAL POLICY FOR EDITORS

EDITOR In CHIEF determines which articles should or should not be published. Before this publication stage, the Editor in Chief should also be responsible for deciding which submissions to WSEE should be sent to the reviewer for further assessment and which other submissions should be rejected for not meeting the standards of the draft manuscript.

EDITORS must be accountable and responsible for everything published in the WSEE. To ensure that editors can achieve all ethical standards, they must operate under the standards of a single-blind review process to ensure the quality of the manuscript and decide whether the manuscript will be accepted or rejected solely based on its originality, quality, and prospects, for the dissemination of knowledge to readers. Editors are prohibited from implementing discriminatory policies by prioritizing or discouraging specific authors based on religion, creed, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or personal background.

All editorial board members are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of all authors. They may not disclose all unpublished manuscripts to third parties without the author's explicit consent.

Ethics policies may also require Editors to double-review manuscripts before making a decision. Editors are often asked to communicate with reviewers and writers to clarify and enrich the substance of the manuscript. This communication will not diminish the editor's authority to accept or reject the manuscript.

ETHICAL POLICY FOR REVIEWERS

All reviewers should be aware that they are only mandated to review the substance, not the manuscript's layout or the language's spelling. The copy editor will resolve the format, while spelling and grammar errors will be checked by the copy editor or language corrector.

All reviewers cannot disclose the confidentiality of author information. They are also restricted from disclosing the confidentiality of rejected manuscripts to third parties without the author's explicit consent. They can still explain the review standards and the reasons for the rejection or acceptance of specific submissions anonymously to third parties.

All reviewers may reject an offer from the editorial office to review the manuscript if they think there will be a potential conflict of interest between the reviewer and the author. They may also decline an offer to review a manuscript if they believe their review work will not help the author enrich the manuscript's substance.

Fair Play for Authors

Editors always evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content regardless of the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Concealment

Any editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to anyone other than the appropriate author, reviewer, prospective reviewer, other editorial advisors, and publishers, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflict of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts may not be used in the editor's own research without the author's written consent.

Duties of the Reviewer

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communication with authors, can also assist authors in improving papers.

Speed

Any selected reviewer who feels ineligible to review the research reported in a manuscript or learns its quick review is impossible should notify the editor and resign from the review process.

Concealment

Any manuscript accepted for review should be treated as a confidential document. They may not be shown or discussed with others except as permitted by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

The review should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. The editorial team should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Source Recognition

The reviewer must identify relevant published works that the author has not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by an appropriate citation. Reviewers should also seek the attention of editors if there are substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers they know personally.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Preferential information or ideas obtained through peer review must be confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with a conflict of interest resulting from competition, cooperation, or other relationships or relationships with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.

Author's Duties

Reporting standards

The author of the original research report should present accurate information on the work done and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be accurately presented in the newspaper. The manuscript must contain sufficient details and references to allow others to replicate the work. Cheating or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data Access and Retention

The author is requested to provide raw data for the paper for editorial review and must be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if possible, and in any case, should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure they have written a wholly original work; if the author has used someone else's work and words, it has been cited appropriately.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing the same research in multiple journals or significant publications. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one Journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Source Recognition

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. The author must cite publications that are influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Paper Writing

Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in a particular substantive aspect of the research project, they must be recognized or listed as contributors. Correspondence authors shall ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the article and its submission for publication.

Dangers and Subjects of Man or Animal

If the work involves chemicals, procedures, or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must identify them in the manuscript.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any other financial or substantive conflicts of interest that may be construed to affect the outcome or interpretation of their manuscripts. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
