Reviewers are selected based on their academic qualifications, publication record, and expertise related to the manuscript's topic. The editorial board may invite additional reviewers if the feedback from the initial reviewers is inconclusive.

  • Originality and contribution to the field of management science

  • Soundness of methodology and data analysis

  • Clarity of presentation and structure

  • Validity of conclusions and implications

  • Proper citation and adherence to ethical research standards

Review Timeline:
The average time taken to complete the peer review process is 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the availability of reviewers and the complexity of the manuscript. Authors will be notified of the editorial decision (accepted, revisions required, or rejected) following the completion of the review.

Reviewer Recruitment:
Reviewers are recruited based on academic recommendations, editorial board networks, and voluntary applications. All reviewers must hold at least a Master’s degree (preferably a Ph.D.) in a relevant discipline and have a demonstrated track record of scholarly publication.
