Journal Management

BIMA is managed through a structured editorial and publishing framework designed to maintain the quality, consistency, and integrity of scholarly communication. The management of the journal involves the publisher and editorial team, with responsibilities assigned according to their respective roles in the publication process.

Journal management covers the major stages of scholarly publishing, including manuscript submission, preliminary editorial screening, peer review, editorial evaluation and decision-making, revision, copyediting, production, and publication. Each stage is conducted in accordance with the journal's editorial policies and established principles of responsible scholarly publishing.

Publisher's Roles and Responsibilities

Maheswari Publisher serves as the publisher of BIMA and is responsible for supporting the journal's publication and administrative operations. The publisher works together with the editorial team to facilitate the orderly publication of scholarly articles and to maintain the journal's publishing standards.

The publisher's responsibilities include supporting the publication infrastructure, maintaining the journal's online publishing platform, facilitating the dissemination of published articles, and supporting the implementation of the journal's publishing policies.
