Editorial Notice:

Structural Criteria to Avoid Immediate Desk Rejection

To maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and streamline the evaluation process, the Editorial Board of the Zanco Journal of Human Sciences strictly enforces an initial screening phase.

Zanco journal DOES NOT accept, review, or publish any manuscript that fails to meet the following prerequisites. Non-compliance will result in an immediate desk rejection without moving forward to peer review.

1. Compliance with Journal Guidelines 

^{Manuscripts must rigidly adhere to the official Zanco Journal template, layout, font specifications, and referencing style. Submissions with incomplete metadata, poorly formatted reference lists, or missing mandatory sections will be rejected immediately.}

2. Originality and Novelty 

^{Every submission must present innovative insights that actively advance the human sciences.} 

3. Duplicate Studies

^{The journal has a strict policy against duplicate publication. Manuscripts found to contain text or ideas copied from previously published work (including the authors' own past papers) without flawless attribution will be rejected. All submissions undergo a software-based similarity check.}

4.High-Standard Academic Language and Structure

^{The paper must follow a coherent, logical academic structure. Regardless of the language track (Kurdish, Arabic, or English),  it must be precise, clear, and free from pervasive grammatical errors or awkward phrasing. If a manuscript requires heavy linguistic editing to be understood, it will be rejected at the desk.}

5.  Proper Methodology

^{The research design must be transparent, valid, and fully justified. Authors must explicitly detail their data collection instruments, sample populations, theoretical frameworks, or analytical techniques. If the chosen methodology is vague, fundamentally flawed, or insufficient to support the study’s conclusions, the paper will not be sent to reviewers.}

 

 Investing time in formatting and language editing beforehand prevents unnecessary administrative delays.
