Registration and Onboarding Framework

The application process is handled electronically to ensure precise mapping of reviewer expertise with submitted manuscript metadata.

System Registration

Prospective reviewers must create an account within the journal's automated electronic workflow platform. During this phase, it is mandatory to link a verified ORCID iD to the profile. This link ensures that all future review activities are accurately tracked and attributed to the correct scholar.

Keyword Classification

Applicants must select highly granular classification keywords that reflect their precise methodological and thematic domains. Broad terms such as "Management" should be avoided. Instead, applicants must select specific operational classifications such as Stochastic Inventory Modeling, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Lean Six Sigma Execution, or Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).

Reviewer Onboarding

The editorial board reviews applications on a bi-weekly basis. Upon validation of academic credentials, the applicant's profile is activated within the central database. Onboarding is completed with an electronic welcome brief detailing system navigation and specific timeline expectations.
