Journal of Governance and Regulation: New feedback from the authors
The editorial team of the Publishing House Virtus Interpress continues to implement its transparency policy in terms of communication with the authors as key stakeholders. In this regard, we are glad to share new feedback from the authors who have recently published their papers in the Journal of Governance and Regulation.
Throstur Olaf Sigurjonsson, University of Iceland, Reykjavík, Iceland; Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark: “I have had the pleasure of publishing at the Journal of Governance and Regulation. I am happy to share my very good experience as an author in collaboration with Virtus Interpress, and the journal. To me, the publisher’s website provides clear guidelines for how to prepare a manuscript for submission. And if any questions arise because of that process, the editorial office provides a quick and supportive response. The review process has been solid and quick. Reviewers get a clear guideline on how to review, but they seem as well have flexibility to provide additional thoughts and ideas for improving manuscripts. The structure around the publication process upon acceptance of papers is as well rigid. I believe this clarity and transparency in both submission and publication process creates the positive experience I have had with the publisher and the Journal of Governance and Regulation. I do publish in a variety of journals. My experience with Virtus Interpress is amongst the strongest and most positive ones”.
