The review process

​

• Publication of original scientific and overview papers in the Economics and Finance journal is preceded by an independent, single-blind peer review procedure.

• The review process takes into account such factors as relevance, soundness, significance, originality, readability, and language quality.

• The possible results of the review process include acceptance, acceptance after revisions, or rejection of the paper.

• If authors are encouraged to revise and resubmit the paper, no guarantee that the revised version will be accepted is given.

• Rejected articles are not subject to re-review process.

• If both reviews are positive, the article is recommended for publication.

• If both reviews are negative, the article is rejected in the review process.

• If at least one reviewer requires the article to be reworked and reassessed, the article must be reworked and then sent back for re-evaluation to the same reviewer.

• In case that one review is positive and the other negative, the evaluation of a third newly determined reviewer is decisive.

• The average length of a review process is 15 days. The author will be informed about the result of the review process by the Editor.

• Articles for the review process are accepted continuously.

• After the successful review process, the articles are subject to proofreading, graphic preparation for printing, and final authors proof.

• We ask reviewers to be as specific as possible in indicating what must be done to make a manuscript acceptable for journal publication. This embodies a primary objective of the journal: to assist authors in the research process. Our Editorial Policy is one which is supportive, rather than critical. We encourage all authors who are not successful in a first attempt to rewrite the manuscript in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers. We will be pleased to referee future versions and rewrites of manuscripts and work with authors in achieving their research goals.
