Peer-review process

The scientific evaluation process at Entrepreneurship Journal for Finance and Business follows the highest standards of integrity and transparency to ensure the publication of high-quality research. The evaluation process includes several key steps to ensure that the research meets academic and ethical standards:

1. Initial Submission Review

Upon submission, the manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial board to verify its alignment with the journal’s scope and general requirements. If the manuscript does not meet the journal’s objectives or standards, the author will be notified of its rejection.

2. Priority Review

Once the initial review is passed, the manuscript is sent for peer review. The journal follows a Double-Blind Peer Review system, where the identities of the authors and reviewers are kept anonymous to ensure fairness in the process.

  • Reviewers are selected based on their academic expertise and experience in the submitted topic.
  • The manuscript is evaluated based on its scientific quality, methodology, and data originality.

3. Review Report

After the review process, each reviewer submits a report that includes feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, as well as recommendations regarding acceptance, rejection, or necessary revisions.

  • Acceptance: If the manuscript meets the journal’s standards.
  • Rejection: If the research is deemed unsuitable or does not meet scientific standards.
  • Revisions: If the manuscript requires further improvements before acceptance, such as rewriting certain sections or providing additional data.

4. Final Decision

Based on the reviewers' reports, the editor-in-chief makes the final decision regarding the manuscript. The decision can be:

  • Final acceptance: After any required revisions have been completed.
  • Rejection: If the research is not acceptable or does not align with the journal's objectives.
  • Major revisions: If substantial changes are needed before resubmission.

5. Final Review for Publication

Once accepted, the manuscript undergoes a final review to ensure compliance with publication standards, including:

  • General formatting of the manuscript.
  • Proofreading for grammatical and spelling errors.
  • Ensuring that the manuscript complies with the journal’s publication guidelines.

6. Publication

Once all reviews and revisions are completed, the manuscript is scheduled for publication in the next issue of the journal. The authors will be notified of the final decision and the expected publication date.

Additional Notes:

  • Scientific Evaluation adheres to the highest academic ethical standards.
