FAQs und submission guidelines

In principal
In principal, you can submit every bachelor or master thesis from any area of business studies in German or English language. It does not matter when and at which university you completed your thesis.

Exceptions
There are three exceptions. First, your thesis must have been marked by your university. If you submit your work before this, you might violate your university’s examination regulations.

Second, you must not have explicitly granted your university or supervisor the right to use your thesis for their research or publish it themselves.

Third, if you wrote your thesis in cooperation with a company or if you are enrolled at a university of cooperative education, the regulations may differ. In those cases, you should check the contracts with the your company or university. If you are still unsure, we recommend you to get in touch with your company or university.

JUMS does not know the mark of your thesis and evaluates your thesis independently of its grade. Your reviewers do not know who you are, what your name is and at which university you studied. Hence, you can receive additional independent feedback from your two JUMS-reviewers. Therefore, you have nothing to lose by submitting you thesis — quite contrary, you can gain a lot.

We encourage you to inform your supervisor, especially to verify whether the publication of the data and the thesis is possible. If your thesis passes the double-blind review process and is published, it is nice to thank your supervisor in a acknowledgement which JUMS gladly publishes with your thesis.

You can submit your thesis in a few clicks and minutes at www.jums.academy/submit. You only need to upload your thesis and fill in some contact information — and you are ready.

Basically, we think it’s great if you also submit the data and calculation methods that you used to achieve the results of your paper. For qualitative methods, this can also include interviews and coding schemes.

The data stored in the JUMS data archive gives your published article much greater visibility and makes your article look even more trustworthy.

However, make sure to respect data protection and any existing rights of third parties (e.g. companies). You will find more detailed information here.

You can upload your thesis in .pdf, .doc, .docx, .dot and .dotx format. If you prefer to upload several files, you can add them by clicking “Select files”.

The review process usually takes several months.

All the theses received for publication undergo an initial screening of the department editor responsible for the field of study. The Department-Editor checks the thesis for the first time and determines whether it should proceed to the double-blind peer review process or be desk-rejected. In this phase, all submissions are verified for quality and good scientific practices.

Staff members who have no influence on the evaluation of the thesis will anonymize the bachelor’s or master’s theses and forward it to the double-blind peer review process. As part of the double-blind peer review process, two experts who specialize in the area of your thesis („peers”) independently evaluate your anonymized („blind”) thesis.

If both reviewers recommend to publish your thesis, then JUMS will publish your thesis in one of its next issues. If both reviewers reject your thesis, then JUMS does not publish your thesis. If one reviewer recommends to publish your thesis and the other recommends to reject it, then the Department-Editor decides about the publication of your thesis.


If your thesis is not desk-rejected, then you receive the reviewers’ evaluation as feedback — even if your thesis does not get published.

The following diagram illustrates the review process.

You can no longer edit the content of your thesis after submitting it.

In some cases, you can edit the language and format of your thesis after submitting your thesis. For this, please email review@jums.academy.

If JUMS publishes your thesis, JUMS will send you the thesis in its design and ask you to check it before JUMS publishes it.
