Statement Policy Review

The Journal of Contemporary Economic and Business Management implements a thorough peer review process for all submitted manuscripts. Before publication, the journal's editorial team assesses the quality of each manuscript. If deemed suitable, it is then forwarded to expert reviewers in the relevant field. These reviewers provide comments and recommendations to assist the editor in determining the manuscript’s fate whether it should be published, revised, or rejected. The journal employs a double-blind peer review, ensuring that both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the process.

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on the quality and substance of the writing, including its originality, relevance, and the accuracy of citations and references. Reviewers do not have the authority to accept or reject manuscripts; they only provide recommendations. The final decision is made by the editor-in-chief, executive editor, or the editorial board.

Review Process:

  1. The editorial team screens submitted manuscripts to ensure they fit the journal’s focus and scope. If a manuscript fails to meet these criteria, it is rejected.
  2. Manuscripts undergo a plagiarism check. If significant plagiarism is found, the manuscript is rejected. Minor plagiarism or redundancy results in a request for clarification or correction from the author.
  3. Manuscripts that pass these initial checks are sent to at least one peer reviewer for evaluation.
  4. Peer reviewers provide feedback and recommendations to the editor, who then decides whether the manuscript should be accepted, revised, or rejected.
  5. The decision is communicated to the author. If revisions are required, the author must resubmit the revised manuscript promptly, and the editorial team will review the updates before final approval for publication. Manuscripts not returned within one month are considered new submissions.

This process ensures the publication of high-quality and original research in the Journal of Contemporary Economic and Business Management.
