Peer Review Process
RIIM-IJBFES intends to use a structured peer-review process to evaluate the scholarly quality, originality, relevance, methodological soundness, and clarity of submitted manuscripts.
- Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts through the designated journal submission system.
- Initial editorial screening: The editorial team checks scope, completeness, originality, ethical declarations, and basic submission requirements.
- Peer review: Suitable manuscripts are evaluated by qualified independent reviewers under the journal's formally adopted review model.
- Editorial decision: Authors receive a decision based on reviewer reports and editorial assessment.
- Revision: Authors address reviewer comments and submit revised manuscripts where requested.
- Final decision: The editor determines acceptance or rejection after considering the available assessments.
- Production and publication: Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, formatting, proofreading, and online publication.
Submission does not guarantee publication. Review timelines may vary according to manuscript complexity, reviewer availability, and the extent of revisions required. The journal will publish its final peer-review model and detailed procedures before the submission system becomes operational.
Implementation note: Choose and implement the actual review model, such as double-anonymous peer review, before publishing it as an active procedure.
