Peer Review Process

The peer review process at the International Journal of Business and Entrepreneurship is a crucial step in ensuring the quality and credibility of published publications. Each manuscript received will go through a series of stages designed to thoroughly evaluate the research contribution, which can be summarized as follows: 

• First, the author submits a manuscript that has been written according to the guidelines and format established by the journal. After submission, the editor conducts an initial check to assess the suitability of the manuscript to the focus and scope of the journal. Manuscripts that do not meet the basic criteria may be rejected at this stage.
• If the manuscript is deemed suitable, the editor will select reviewers who are experts in the related field. These reviewers, who are usually from academics or practitioners, will conduct an in-depth evaluation of the manuscript's content. They assess various aspects, such as the originality of the idea, the methodology used, the relevance of the literature, and the clarity of presentation. Feedback from reviewers is very important, because it provides an objective perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of the research.
• After the review process is complete, the editor will collect the feedback and make a decision regarding the manuscript. The author will be notified of the review results, which can be acceptance without revision, acceptance with minor revisions, acceptance with major revisions, or rejection. If revision is needed, authors are asked to respond to the comments and suggestions provided by the reviewers
• After the authors have revised and resubmitted the revised manuscript, the editor will re-assess it. This process aims to ensure that all reviewer comments have been responded to properly. The final decision will be made based on the evaluation, and if accepted, the manuscript will be processed for publication.
• Finally, the peer review process is not only beneficial for the journal in maintaining academic standards, but also provides an opportunity for authors to improve the quality of their research. Thus, through careful peer review, the International Journal of Business and Entrepreneurship is committed to publishing significant work and contributing to the development of knowledge in the field of business and entrepreneurship.
