Peer Review

The International Journal Of Economic, Management, Business, and Accounting (IJECOMBA) employs a rigorous peer-review process to uphold the quality and scholarly integrity of the articles it publishes. The peer review process is a crucial step in ensuring that only high-quality and well-researched contributions make their way into the journal.

1. Submission: Upon receiving a manuscript, the editorial team assesses its alignment with the journal's focus and scope. If deemed appropriate, the manuscript moves on to the next stage.

2. Initial Editorial Review: The editorial team conducts an initial review to ensure the manuscript adheres to the journal's guidelines, formatting standards, and ethical considerations. Manuscripts meeting these criteria proceed to the next stage.

3. Peer Review Assignment: The editor-in-chief assigns the manuscript to one or more qualified experts in the relevant field. These experts, known as peer reviewers, are chosen based on their expertise and experience.

4. Peer Review: The assigned peer reviewers thoroughly evaluate the manuscript, assessing its methodology, significance, originality, and overall quality. They provide constructive feedback, comments, and recommendations to the authors.

5. Author Revisions: Authors receive the reviewers' comments and are given an opportunity to revise their manuscript in response to the feedback received. This iterative process may involve multiple rounds of review and revision.

6. Final Decision: After considering the revised manuscript, the editorial team, led by the editor-in-chief, makes a final decision on whether to accept, reject, or request further revisions. The decision is based on the manuscript's scholarly merit and adherence to the journal's standards.

7. Publication: Accepted manuscripts are then prepared for publication. The journal follows an open-access policy, ensuring that the scholarly work is accessible to a wide audience.

This thorough peer-review process helps maintain the high academic standards of the journal, providing readers with trustworthy and valuable contributions to the fields of Economics, Management, Business, and Accounting.
