Peer Review Process & Criteria

Every submitted article will be independently reviewed by at least two peer reviewers using a double-anonymised peer review method. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports or recommendations.

Manuscripts are reviewed based on the following criteria:
1. Originality
2. Relationship to Seminal Literature in Management or Accounting
3. Rigorous Research Methodology
4. Results
5. Interpretation, Implications for research, practice, and/or society
6. Quality of Communication

After being reviewed, there will be four kinds of editor decisions based on reviewers’ recommendations:

  • Accept Submission: The submission will be accepted without revisions.
  • Revisions Required: The submission will be accepted after minor changes have been made.
  • Resubmit for Review: The submission requires significant revisions, but with these changes, it may be accepted. However, it will require a second round of review.
  • Decline Submission: The submission will not be published in the journal.
