Archiving
The Eurasian Journal of Economic and Business Studies (EJEBS) ensures the long-term digital preservation and accessibility of its published content.
The journal’s content is archived and preserved through the following systems:
- Russian State Library (RSL);
- National Electronic-Information Consortium (NEICON).
These archiving services guarantee permanent access to the journal’s content, even in the event that the journal ceases publication.
Review Process
The editorial board of the Eurasian Journal of Economic and Business Studies adheres to the recommendations of the COPE’s (Committee on Publication Ethics) when working with manuscripts, reviewers, and organizing the review process.
All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process involving at least two independent reviewers.
The review process for EJEBS is rigorous and aims to ensure the high quality 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.
The editorial board checks the manuscript for adherence to the journal's guidelines and policies. Editors conduct an initial review to determine whether the manuscript meets the journal's scope and standards. If the manuscript passes the initial review, it undergoes a double-blind peer-review process
The double-blind peer-review process ensures that the manuscript's authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. The reviewers are experts in the manuscript's field, and they evaluate its quality, originality, relevance, and potential contribution to the field. The reviewers provide constructive feedback to the author to improve the manuscript's clarity, coherence, and quality. In addition, EJEBS has policies in place to prevent plagiarism and promote academic integrity. Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original and have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The journal uses plagiarism-detection software to ensure that all submissions are original and free of plagiarism or copyright infringement. In cases where plagiarism is identified, the manuscript will be rejected, and the author will be barred from submitting any future articles to the journal.
Review period
The average review period is 4–8 weeks (approximately 1–2 months), depending on reviewer availability and the revision process. During this period, the editorial board of the journal includes time for the initial review of the manuscript, the selection of reviewers, time for the preparation of the review, time for the revision of the article by the author and re-reviewing, and the involvement of additional experts.
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 decides on the manuscript's acceptability for publication. 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: If the manuscript is accepted, it will be published in the journal's next available issue. However, the authors may be asked to make minor revisions and corrections to the manuscript based on the reviewers' comments.
(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 will then be reviewed by the same reviewers, who will determine whether the revisions have been adequately addressed.
(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 action to manage the conflict of interest and ensure the integrity of the publication process. This may include removing an author, editor, or reviewer from the process or disclosing the potential conflict of interest to the publication’s readers.
Composition of reviewers
Another policy that EJEBS has in place to ensure the quality of the review process is the selection of reviewers. The composition of reviewers in EJEBS includes well-known scholars and practitioners from various countries who possess expertise in various domains. Reviewers are selected based on their subject matter expertise, educational and research experience, and prior experience as a peer reviewers.
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.
The reviewers provide a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the manuscript based on the quality of research, methodology, relevance, originality, and potential impact of the study. The reviewers provide constructive feedback to the authors to improve the manuscript's quality.
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.
Composition of Reviewers
Reviewers are selected based on their subject expertise, academic qualifications, and research experience. The editorial board ensures that reviewers are independent, objective, and competent.
In conclusion, the review process for EJEBS is rigorous and thorough, designed to ensure the highest quality of published articles. The journal maintains policies to ensure the fairness, transparency, and integrity of the review process, including the conflict of interest policy, the selection of reviewers, and strict ethical guidelines.

Data fabrication and data falsification
Falsifying data and manipulating research data with the intention of creating a false impression is not allowed. As for image manipulation, technical improvement of images is allowed for ease of reading. Proper technical manipulation refers to the adjustment of contrast and brightness or colour balance if applied to the entire digital image (not parts of the image). Any manipulations on the author's part should be notified to the journal editors when sending. As a rule, if the author's figures are in doubt, requesting the source data from the authors is recommended.
Duplicate submission
Duplicate submission refers to the practice of submitting the same study to two journals or publishing more or less the same analysis in two journals. These materials can be presented almost simultaneously or years later.
Redundant publication
The redundant publication refers to a situation where one study is divided into several parts and submitted to two or more journals. Self-plagiarism is considered a form of excessive publication. This applies to reworking or borrowing content from previous work without quoting. This practice is widespread and may be unintentional. Transparency by the author of the use of previously published work usually provides the necessary information to assess whether it is intentional or unintentional.
Duplication of text and drawings
Plagiarism occurs when someone presents someone else's work as if it were his own without proper confirmation. There are different degrees of plagiarism. The degree of severity depends on various factors: the volume of the copied material, the originality of the reproduced material, and the attribution of the material used. Each case is different, and solutions will vary depending on the case of duplicate detection.
Undeclared conflict of interest
A conflict of interest is a situation in which various personal considerations of authors or reviewers may jeopardise or prejudice professional judgment and objectivity. Authors and reviewers should declare all conflicts of interest related to the work in question in order to avoid potential bias.
Publication Ethics and Malpractice Handling
The journal takes all reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, redundant publication, and undeclared conflicts of interest.
In cases of suspected misconduct, the journal follows COPE guidelines and may take appropriate actions, including:
- rejection of the manuscript;
- publication of corrections;
- retraction of the article;
- publication of an expression of concern.
Plagiarism Detection
All submitted manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using specialized detection software prior to peer review.
