BRAMS is an academic journal published by the BRAMS Institute in Tbilisi, Georgia. It is a peer-reviewed international quarterly that welcomes innovative research papers, ideally embracing an interdisciplinary approach across various fields, including social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, formal sciences, and applied sciences. The journal releases issues quarterly, with both online (eISSN 2960-9348) and print (ISSN 2667-9299) versions available in PDF format on the BRAMS Institute website.

BRAMS has an open call for submissions. Authors may submit manuscripts in Georgian or English at any time throughout the year, with no strict deadlines or specific compositional requirements, provided the article demonstrates thorough research qualities. Submissions must be unpublished and not under consideration by other publications.

When submitting an article, authors must ensure that the manuscript adheres to the guidelines on the publisher’s website. There is no submission fee; however, authors are required to pay the article processing charge (APC) upon acceptance of a manuscript. According to BRAMS' refund policy, refunds for the APC are not available if the author withdraws after payment has been made. Authors may request an invoice, which will be emailed as a signed document.

BRAMS follows the Gold Open Access model, generating revenue primarily from author fees. The journal's operations are funded by fees from authors, their institutions, or funding agencies. We provide immediate open access to all articles at https://brams.ge, allowing users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts for any lawful purpose. The online versions are freely accessible and downloadable. Please ensure citations, including the URL, when referencing any part of the journal or content from the BRAMS website.

 

Responsibilities of Authors and Reviewers

Authors must ensure their work is original and not under consideration elsewhere. They should properly cite all sources and ensure compliance with ethical standards in any research involving human or animal subjects. Additionally, authors must disclose any conflicts of interest and actively collaborate with editors and reviewers to improve their papers.

Reviewers are expected to provide constructive, honest, and unbiased feedback while maintaining confidentiality. They must disclose any conflicts of interest and refrain from using ideas or text from the manuscript for personal gain.

The Editor-in-Chief and editorial board oversee the peer review process, make final decisions based on reviewer input, handle submissions fairly, and avoid involvement with papers where they have a conflict of interest. All manuscripts and review discussions are confidential, and we adhere to international data protection and privacy regulations. All parties involved—authors, reviewers, and editors—must declare any potential conflicts of interest, as undisclosed conflicts may lead to the rejection or retraction of a paper.

If authors disagree with a decision regarding their manuscript, they may submit a formal appeal, including a clear and detailed explanation of their reasons. A senior editor, who was not involved in the original decision, will review the appeal impartially. Complaints concerning ethics or misconduct will be addressed in accordance with COPE guidelines. For further inquiries regarding publication, authors are encouraged to visit the Submissions web page before contacting us.

 

Aim & Scope

BRAMS is an international academic journal dedicated to researchers, scholars, and practitioners who seek to advance knowledge across various disciplines. Our aim is to publish research that bridges gaps between theories in different fields, offering a distinctive platform for analytical expertise that drives societal progress and addresses global challenges.

The journal's scope encompasses a wide array of subjects, including, but not limited to, the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, formal sciences, and applied sciences. At BRAMS, we adopt an open-minded and research-oriented approach, staying attuned to the latest trends in modern advancements. We actively seek authors with robust research capabilities who are willing to present bold perspectives on their chosen topics.

Our mission is to enhance research quality by publishing high-caliber, peer-reviewed articles that showcase unique academic voices. As a bilingual journal, BRAMS undertakes the commendable challenge of presenting articles in one of the world’s dominant languages, English, while also featuring valuable contributions in Georgian—an ancient language that remains largely unchanged and is spoken by approximately five million people globally. To support this bilingual initiative, the journal includes comprehensive abstracts to ensure accessibility for speakers of both languages. The BRAMS team believes that our approach can promote research advancements in smaller nations with ambitious scientific goals, while preserving and nurturing their native language alongside English.
