The Journal endeavours to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, students, resource persons and other people in the academia who are interested in the discussion of current and future issues and challenges impacting on the field of Public Administration, Management Sciences, Humanities, Education, Arts and Social Sciences. We adopt double blind peer review policy in which both authors and reviewers are kept anonymous so as to maintain the high technical and quality standards as required by the researchers.
ROPAM deals with the study of government decision making, the analysis of the policies, the various inputs that have produced them, and the inputs necessary to produce alternative policies. Public Administration is centrally concerned with the activities that are governmental in nature, that is, the enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulations, legislative activities, taxation, national defense, public order and safety, immigration services, foreign affairs, international assistance, and the administration of government programs. The journal includes a wide range of fields in its discipline to create a platform for the authors to make their contribution towards the journal.
The journal makes use of 'Editorial Manager System' for attaining high quality in the peer-review process. 'Editorial Manager System' is an online manuscript submission, review and tracking system. The peer-review process is mainly performed by the Editorial Board Members of the journal or outside experts; at least two independent reviewers' approval is required, followed by the editor's approval for acceptance of any citable manuscript.
