Peer-Review Process
Economics and Financial Policymaking employs a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation to ensure impartiality and fairness.
The peer-review process follows these steps:
- Initial Editorial Screening: Assessment of scope, formatting, and originality.
- Plagiarism Check via iThenticate software.
- Assignment to at least two expert reviewers in the relevant field (occasionally three, depending on the subject matter).
- Evaluation Reports: Reviewers submit their comments and recommendations.
- Editorial Decision: Based on reviewer feedback, the manuscript may be accepted, returned for revision, or rejected.
- Revised Submission: Authors revise their manuscript and resubmit.
- Final Review by editors or reviewers before acceptance.
The typical duration of the review process is 4 to 8 weeks, depending on reviewer responsiveness and the complexity of revisions.
