Reviewing Policy

The Journal of Education and Finance Review (JEFR) is dedicated to maintaining high standards of academic quality and integrity in the peer review process. Our review policy is designed to ensure rigorous evaluation of submitted manuscripts while upholding fairness, confidentiality, and constructive feedback. The following principles guide our reviewing process:

Peer Review: All submitted manuscripts undergo thorough double-blind peer review by experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, scholarly contributions, and impartiality. The goal is to provide authors with insightful, objective, and constructive feedback to enhance the quality of their work.

Confidentiality: Reviewers are required to maintain strict confidentiality regarding the content of the manuscripts they evaluate. They should not disclose any information about the submission to anyone outside of the editorial team. Authors' identities are also protected during the review process to ensure impartial assessment.

Fairness and Impartiality: Reviewers are expected to assess the scholarly merit of the work objectively, without bias or prejudice. Personal or professional conflicts of interest that may affect the review process should be disclosed, and alternative reviewers will be assigned if necessary to maintain fairness and objectivity.

Timeliness: Reviewers are encouraged to provide their feedback within a reasonable timeframe to facilitate timely and efficient editorial decisions. The journal aims to expedite the review process while ensuring comprehensive and thoughtful evaluations of each submission.

Constructive Feedback: Reviewers are encouraged to offer constructive comments and suggestions to help authors improve the clarity, rigor, and impact of their research. Feedback should be clear, respectful, and focused on enhancing the scholarly contribution of the manuscript.

Editorial Decision-making: Editors consider the input of reviewers alongside other factors when making decisions about manuscript acceptance, revision, or rejection. The final decision is based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the research, as well as ethical and editorial considerations.

By promoting these principles, the Journal of Education and Finance Review (FEFR) aims to foster a robust and equitable peer review process that upholds scholarly integrity and contributes to the advancement of knowledge in education and finance.
