Review Process

The editorial board of the Eurasian Journal of Economic and Business Studies adheres to the principles and guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in handling manuscripts and organizing the peer-review process.

All manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening undergo a double-blind peer-review process involving at least two independent reviewers. 

The review process is designed to ensure the academic quality, integrity, and relevance of published articles. The process begins when an author submits a manuscript to the journal. The submission must comply with the journal’s guidelines and must be original, not previously published, and not under consideration elsewhere.

Initial Screening

The editorial board checks the manuscript for compliance with the journal's scope, standards, and submission requirements. If the manuscript meets these criteria, it proceeds to the peer review stage.

Double-blind peer-review process

The review process is double-blind, meaning that the identities of authors and reviewers are not disclosed to each other. This ensures an impartial and unbiased evaluation of the manuscript based solely on its academic merit.

Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent experts in the relevant field. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s quality, originality, relevance, and contribution to the field. They also provide constructive feedback to improve clarity, coherence, and overall quality.

Review period

Reviewers are normally asked to submit their reports within four weeks. The overall peer-review and editorial decision process usually takes 2–3 months. This period may vary depending on reviewer availability, the number of revision rounds, and the time required for authors to revise their manuscripts.

Steps of the review process

Upon receipt of a submission, the editorial board reviews it to ensure that it meets the scope and aims of the journal. If the submission is deemed suitable, it is then assigned to two or more independent reviewers who are experts in the field. The reviewers evaluate the submission based on the following criteria:

(1) originality and significance of the research;

(2) soundness of the research methodology;

(3) clarity and coherence of presentation;

(4) quality of analysis and interpretation of results;

(5) relevance and contribution to the field.

Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editorial board makes an editorial decision on the manuscript based on the reviewers’ reports and the journal’s editorial criteria. The editorial board can decide to accept the manuscript for publication, reject it, or ask the author to make revisions based on the reviewers' feedback.

The possible outcomes of the review process include:

(1) Acceptance: The manuscript is accepted for publication without further substantive revision and will be scheduled for publication in a forthcoming issue.

(2) Minor revision: If the manuscript requires minor revisions, the authors will be asked to address the reviewers' comments and resubmit the revised manuscript. The revised manuscript may be assessed by the editor and/or returned to the reviewers, depending on the nature of the revisions.

(3) Major revision: If the manuscript requires major revisions, the authors will be asked to make significant changes to the manuscript, and the revised manuscript will be resubmitted for another round of peer review.

(4) Rejection: If the manuscript is not accepted for publication, the authors will be informed of the decision and given a detailed explanation of the reasons for rejection.

Revision Process

If revisions are required, authors must submit a revised manuscript addressing reviewers’ comments. The revised version may undergo an additional round of review before the final decision is made.

The review process for EJEBS aims to ensure that the published articles are of high quality and meet the journal's scope and standards. The process is also designed to provide constructive feedback to the authors, helping them improve the quality of their manuscripts. In addition to the rigorous review process, EJEBS has several policies in place to ensure fairness, transparency, and integrity.

Conflict of interest

The editorial board recognizes the importance of managing conflicts of interest to maintain the credibility and trustworthiness of the journal's publications. As such, the journal has established a conflict of interest policy that applies to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and members of the editorial board.

Authors must disclose all financial, personal, or professional interests that could be perceived as a conflict of interest. This includes, but is not limited to, funding sources, potential conflicts with a reviewer, competing commercial or personal interests, and any other factors that could affect the objectivity of the research or publication. Disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest is mandatory during the submission process and may be published along with the article if deemed necessary by the editorial board.

Editors and reviewers must also disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise during the publication process. This includes any personal or professional relationships with the authors or any competing commercial or personal interests that could affect their objectivity in reviewing or assessing the manuscript. The editorial board will take all steps necessary to ensure that the reviewers and editors are impartial and unbiased in their evaluations.

In cases where a conflict of interest is identified, the editorial board will take appropriate measures to protect the integrity and independence of the publication process. This may include requiring appropriate disclosure, recusing or replacing an editor or reviewer, assigning the manuscript to an independent editor, or taking other measures consistent with COPE guidance.

Composition of Reviewers

Another policy that EJEBS has in place to ensure the quality of the review process is the selection of reviewers. EJEBS reviewers include qualified scholars and practitioners from different countries with relevant expertise in the journal’s subject areas. Reviewers are selected based on their subject-matter expertise, academic and research experience, and experience in peer review.

The editorial board of EJEBS is responsible for selecting reviewers for each manuscript based on their field of expertise. The reviewers are selected from a diverse pool of academics and practitioners who have significant experience in the field. The selection process ensures that the reviewers are objective, fair, and possess the necessary skills to evaluate research quality.

Reviewers provide a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of manuscripts based on research quality, methodology, relevance, originality, and potential contribution to the field, as well as constructive feedback aimed at improving the quality of the manuscript.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts are treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must not disclose or use any information obtained during the review process for personal or professional advantage.

Publishing Ethics

The editorial policy of the Eurasian Journal of Economic and Business Studies (EJEBS) is based on the principles and Core Practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors, editors, reviewers, and members of the Editorial Board are expected to comply with the ethical standards set out below throughout the submission, peer-review, and publication processes.

By submitting a manuscript to EJEBS, the authors confirm that the work complies with these ethical principles.

Responsibilities of Editors

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the academic quality and integrity of the content published in the journal. The Editor-in-Chief and appointed editors shall:

  1. evaluate manuscripts solely on their academic quality, originality, relevance, and compliance with the journal’s scope;
  2. ensure a fair, impartial, and confidential editorial and peer-review process;

All research articles undergo double-blind peer-review by at least two independent reviewers.

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors are responsible for the accuracy, originality, transparency, and integrity of their manuscripts. Authors shall:

  1. submit original work that has not been published previously and is not under consideration by another journal;
  2. provide appropriate citations and references for all ideas, text, data, figures, tables, and other materials obtained from external sources;
  3. present research methods, data, results, and conclusions honestly and accurately, without fabrication, falsification, selective reporting, or misleading interpretation;
  4. retain and provide supporting data or documentation when reasonably requested by the Editorial Board;
  5. ensure that all listed authors have made a substantial contribution to the work, approved the final version, and agreed to be accountable for its content;
  6. acknowledge individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet the criteria for authorship;
  7. disclose all sources of funding and any financial, institutional, professional, or personal conflicts of interest;
  8. obtain all necessary ethical approvals and informed consent when the research involves human participants, personal data, interviews, surveys, or other ethically sensitive materials;
  9. promptly inform the Editorial Board if a significant error, inaccuracy, or ethical concern is identified before or after publication;
  10. disclose any substantive use of artificial intelligence or automated tools in preparing the manuscript.

Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools

Artificial intelligence and automated tools may be used as auxiliary instruments for language editing, literature discovery, statistical analysis, coding, or data visualization. Their use must remain under the full control and supervision of the authors and must not replace the authors’ intellectual contribution.

Authors must verify the accuracy, originality, validity, and reliability of all content produced or assisted by AI tools. AI-generated references must not be included without verification against the original sources. Artificial intelligence tools cannot be listed as authors or cited as sources.

Any substantive use of AI tools beyond routine spelling, grammar, or formatting assistance must be disclosed in the manuscript, preferably in the Methods section or another appropriate section. The disclosure should identify the tool and explain how it was used.

Authors must not upload confidential information, personal data, unpublished third-party materials, or other protected content to an AI system without appropriate authorization.

Editors and reviewers must not upload submitted manuscripts, supplementary files, reviews, or confidential editorial correspondence to publicly accessible generative AI systems. AI tools must not be used to make editorial decisions or generate peer-review reports. Editors and reviewers remain fully responsible for their assessments, recommendations, and decisions.

Responsibilities of Reviewers

Reviewers shall comply with the following ethical principles throughout the peer-review process:

  1. accept a review assignment only when they have the necessary expertise and can complete the review within the specified period;
  2. immediately inform the Editorial Office if they are unable to complete the review or identify a potential conflict of interest;
  3. provide objective, evidence-based, constructive, and respectful comments;
  4. maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript and all information obtained during the review process;
  5. refrain from using unpublished information, data, or ideas obtained through peer review for personal or professional advantage;
  6. identify relevant published work that has not been appropriately cited and report suspected plagiarism, data manipulation, duplicate publication, or other ethical concerns to the editor;
  7. avoid personal criticism, discriminatory language, or hostile and inappropriate comments.

Data Fabrication, Falsification, and Image Manipulation

Fabrication, falsification, selective alteration, or manipulation of research data is prohibited. Authors must not create a misleading impression by omitting, changing, or misrepresenting data or results.

Technical adjustments to images, such as changes in brightness, contrast, or colour balance, are permitted only when applied to the entire image and when they do not alter or obscure the scientific meaning of the material. The Editorial Board may request original data, images, calculations, or other supporting materials when concerns arise.

Duplicate and Redundant Publication

Authors must not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to more than one journal. Redundant publication, including the publication of substantially similar findings in multiple articles without transparent disclosure and appropriate citation, is prohibited. If a manuscript is based on, overlaps with, or extends previously published work, the authors must clearly disclose this information and cite the relevant publication.

Plagiarism and Text Recycling

Plagiarism includes presenting another person’s text, ideas, data, images, tables, or other intellectual contributions as one’s own without appropriate acknowledgement. Paraphrasing is permitted only when the original source is properly cited. Reuse of substantial parts of an author’s own previously published work without citation or disclosure may constitute inappropriate text recycling or self-plagiarism.

All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism-detection software before peer review. Identified text similarity is assessed by an editor, taking into account the nature, extent, and context of the overlap.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors, reviewers, editors, and Editorial Board members must disclose any financial, institutional, professional, academic, or personal relationships that could influence or reasonably be perceived to influence their work or decisions. Reviewers and editors must decline involvement in a manuscript when a conflict of interest could compromise their independence or objectivity.

Research Involving Human Participants and Informed Consent

Research involving human participants, surveys, interviews, experiments, personal information, or identifiable data must comply with applicable ethical and legal requirements. Authors must state whether ethical approval was obtained and identify the approving institution or committee when applicable. Informed consent must be obtained from participants when required. Identifiable personal information must not be published without explicit consent. If formal ethical approval was not required, authors must provide an appropriate explanation in the manuscript.

Data Sharing and Reproducibility

Authors are encouraged to make the data, research instruments, analytical code, and other materials supporting their findings available in a trusted repository whenever ethical, legal, contractual, and confidentiality requirements permit.

If data cannot be shared publicly, the authors should explain the reason and, where possible, describe the conditions under which access may be granted. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the data used in their research.

Submissions from Editors and Editorial Board Members

Manuscripts submitted by the Editor-in-Chief, editors, or members of the Editorial Board are subject to the same editorial requirements, double-blind peer-review process, and publication standards as all other submissions.

An editor who is an author or has a conflict of interest must not participate in reviewer selection, editorial correspondence, discussion, or the final decision concerning the manuscript. Such submissions are assigned to an independent editor who has no conflict of interest with the authors.

Complaints and Appeals

Authors, reviewers, and readers may submit complaints concerning the journal’s procedures, ethical matters, published content, or editorial conduct. Authors may appeal an editorial decision by submitting a reasoned explanation and relevant supporting information. Appeals must address the scientific or procedural grounds for reconsideration and should not consist solely of disagreement with the decision.

Complaints and appeals are considered by an editor who was not directly involved in the original decision whenever possible. If the complaint concerns the Editor-in-Chief, it will be handled by an independent member of the Editorial Board. The outcome will be communicated to the complainant after an appropriate review.

Corrections, Retractions, and Expressions of Concern

When a significant error or ethical problem is identified after publication, the journal will take appropriate action in accordance with COPE guidance.

Depending on the nature and severity of the issue, the journal may publish:

  1. a correction;
  2. a retraction;
  3. an expression of concern;
  4. a notice of replacement or other appropriate editorial statement.

All notices will be freely accessible, clearly identified, and linked to the original article. The original publication record will be preserved, and any changes in the article’s status will be transparently indicated, including through Crossmark where applicable.

Post-publication Discussion

Readers may submit evidence-based comments or concerns regarding published articles to the Editorial Office. Substantive concerns will be assessed by the Editor-in-Chief or an independent editor and, where appropriate, referred to the authors, reviewers, Editorial Board, or relevant institution.

If the assessment identifies an error or research integrity issue, the journal may publish a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other appropriate notice.

Publication Misconduct

The journal takes reasonable steps to identify and prevent research and publication misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, inappropriate image manipulation, duplicate publication, authorship manipulation, citation manipulation, and undeclared conflicts of interest.
