About the Journal

The Journal of Sustainable Institutional Management (JSIM) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and the advancement of applied research in the field of sustainable institutional management. It serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to disseminate critical reflections, innovative methodologies, and empirical findings on how institutions — public, private, or nonprofit — integrate sustainability into their governance frameworks, strategic leadership, and operational models.

The Journal of Sustainable Institutional Management (JSIM) ensures transparency in its editorial process by registering all peer reviews and reviewers on the ReviewerCredits platform. This guarantees proper recognition of reviewers' contributions while strengthening the integrity and accountability of the journal’s evaluation system.

Established in 2024, JSIM succeeds the Revista de Governança Corporativa (ISSN: 2359-313X), formerly published by Editora Alumni In, maintaining its scholarly tradition and editorial rigor. This editorial transition represents a strategic and deliberate broadening of thematic focus, aligning the journal with emerging global and local demands concerning sustainability and institutional resilience. The continuation under the new title preserves the journal’s academic relevance, editorial quality, and indexing history.

JSIM is particularly concerned with the complexities of institutional transformation. It encourages research that explores how governance structures, leadership models, regulatory systems, accountability mechanisms, and ethical practices contribute to building resilient, transparent, and socially responsible institutions, especially in contexts marked by instability, environmental degradation, inequality, or systemic disruption.

The journal values contributions that reflect the multidimensional nature of institutional environments, including political, economic, social, environmental, and technological dynamics. Special attention is given to analyses that examine how institutions adapt to and shape responses to evolving sustainability challenges — whether through reform, innovation, cooperation, or reconstruction in the face of crises such as armed conflict, democratic backsliding, or environmental collapse.

All manuscripts submitted to JSIM undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. The journal is managed using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and supported by an editorial board composed of recognized scholars and professionals across diverse disciplines.
