Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Jurisfinance: Journal of Business, Law, and Financial Studies undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and academic integrity of the articles published.

The review process is conducted through the following stages:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening

Every submitted manuscript is first evaluated by the Editor or Section Editor to ensure that it complies with the journal’s author guidelines, manuscript template, and publication policies. The editor also assesses whether the manuscript falls within the focus and scope of the journal. Manuscripts that do not meet the basic requirements may be returned to the authors for revision before proceeding to the peer review stage.

 

  1. Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to independent reviewers under a double-blind review system, in which the identities of both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on several criteria, including:

  • Originality and novelty of the research
  • Scientific contribution and relevance to the field
  • Methodological rigor and validity
  • Clarity of analysis and argumentation
  • Accuracy and relevance of citations and references

 

  1. Reviewer Assignment

Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two qualified reviewers who possess expertise relevant to the subject area of the manuscript. If a reviewer considers that the manuscript is outside their field of expertise, they may decline the review invitation and recommend other reviewers with appropriate expertise.

 

  1. Decision Process

After receiving the reviewers’ reports, the editor will make one of the following decisions:

  • Accept without revision
  • Accept with minor revisions
  • Accept with major revisions
  • Reject

If the two reviewers provide conflicting recommendations, the editor may assign the manuscript to a third reviewer to obtain an additional evaluation before making the final editorial decision. The final decision regarding publication rests with the Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviewers’ comments and the journal’s editorial standards.
