Gyanodaya is eager to publish submitted cases without compromising quality. However, we strive to make sure that
All case submissions are subjected to plagiarism screening through software licensed to IIM Kozhikode to ensure originality and academic integrity.
The submitted case and teaching note will be evaluated through a three-stage review process. Improvements to the case and teaching note may be requested before final acceptance for publication. Please refer to the video on the page at https://gyanodaya.iimk.ac.in/register for a detailed understanding of the review process.
Stage 1: Initial Quality Control and Formatting
The editorial team will ensure that each case study is based on a real company and a real
issue; all documents are free from plagiarism and AI-generated content; proper source citations are provided; images and figures are of good quality and resolution; and that necessary permissions for reproducing copyrighted material, as well as consent (for primary cases), are duly obtained. This stage will be completed within 7 working days from the submission date and the author will be notified accordingly.
Stage 2: Assessment by Faculty Members
Your submission will be evaluated by two faculty reviewers with relevant subject matter expertise and provide quick feedback in the form of a rating on a five-point scale, where 5 is the highest. Cases scoring more than 3 will be automatically moved to stage III. The reviewer will evaluate the relevance of the content, complexity of the decision-making dilemma discussed, coverage of the case, depth of the teaching note, proposed teaching plan, consistency and professionalism in the presentation of the case, and writing style.
Stage 3: Double- Blind Review
One expert reviewer evaluates the case study and teaching note based on various editorial
criteria. When reviewing a case study, the reviewer guarantees that it uses neutral
language, maintains suspense, presents complexity, is action-driven, and remains
ambiguous without sacrificing clarity. The case should also be concise and clearly written.
In assessing a teaching note, the reviewer considers the context, discussion plan,
instructional guidance, and integration of relevant concepts
