Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts to RIBH: Journal of Integrated Economy and Business Studies undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential to maintain impartiality.

Review Workflow:

  1. Initial Editorial Check
    Manuscripts are reviewed for scope relevance, formatting compliance, and plagiarism screening.

  2. Assignment to Reviewers
    Qualified manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the manuscript’s subject area.

  3. Reviewer Evaluation
    Reviewers assess:

    • Originality and scholarly contribution

    • Topic relevance and analytical depth

    • Methodological soundness

    • Clarity of presentation and citation quality

  4. Editorial Decision
    Based on reviewer feedback, editors decide to:

    • Accept without revision

    • Accept with minor revision

    • Require major revision

    • Reject the manuscript

  5. Revision and Finalization
    Authors are given a specific time to revise. After approval, manuscripts go through final editing and are published online.

Estimated review timeline: 4–8 weeks, depending on initial manuscript quality and reviewer availability.
