Peer Review

At IJEPOTECH, we uphold the highest standards of academic excellence through a rigorous and transparent peer review process. The peer review system is an essential component of maintaining the quality and integrity of the scholarly content published in our journal.

1. Initial Editorial Assessment: Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial assessment to ensure it aligns with the journal's focus and scope. This assessment considers the paper's originality, relevance, and adherence to formatting and ethical guidelines.

2. Assignment to Reviewers: Manuscripts that pass the initial assessment are assigned to expert reviewers in the relevant field. IJEPOTECH maintains a diverse pool of qualified reviewers with expertise in economics, policy, and technology.

3. Double-Blind Review: Reviewers conduct a double-blind evaluation, meaning the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept confidential. This ensures an unbiased and objective assessment of the manuscript.

4. Reviewer Feedback: Reviewers provide detailed feedback on various aspects of the manuscript, including its methodology, theoretical framework, clarity, and contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Authors receive constructive comments to help them improve the quality of their work.

5. Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' feedback, the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors make an editorial decision. Possible decisions include acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection. Authors are provided with clear and constructive feedback to guide revisions.

6. Author Revision: If revisions are required, authors are invited to revise their manuscripts in response to the reviewers' comments. The revised manuscript undergoes a further review to ensure the suggested improvements have been addressed.

7. Final Decision and Publication: Upon successful completion of the review and revision process, the manuscript is accepted for publication. The final version is prepared, and the article is published in the relevant issue of IJEPOTECH.

The peer review process at IJEPOTECH is designed to uphold the highest standards of scholarly publishing, ensuring that published articles contribute meaningfully to the academic discourse in the fields of economics, policy, and technology.
