Peer Review Process

Journal Psychology and Economye employs a double-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and objectivity of the published articles. This process keeps the identities of both authors and reviewers confidential. The steps are as follows:

  1. Manuscript Submission
    Authors submit their manuscripts through the journal's online system, ensuring the articles comply with the journal's focus, scope, and guidelines.

  2. Initial Screening by Editor
    The editor checks the completeness, adherence to journal guidelines, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope. Manuscripts that do not meet the criteria are rejected or returned for revision.

  3. Reviewer Assignment
    The editor assigns two reviewers with expertise in the relevant field to review the manuscript. This process is conducted anonymously to ensure objectivity.

  4. Review Process

    • Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on scientific quality, originality, methodology, data analysis, and contribution to knowledge.
    • Reviewers provide recommendations on whether the manuscript should be accepted, require minor/major revisions, or be rejected.
    • The review results are submitted through the journal system within the agreed timeframe (usually 2-4 weeks).

  5. Editorial Decision
    Based on the reviewers' reports, the editor decides:

    • Accepted: The article proceeds to final editing.
    • Revisions Required: Authors are asked to revise the manuscript according to the reviewers' feedback and resubmit the revised version.
    • Rejected: The article is not accepted for publication.

  6. Revision and Re-evaluation
    If revisions are required, authors submit the revised manuscript. The revised version may be sent back to reviewers for further evaluation if necessary.

  7. Proofing
    An accepted manuscript will be processed to final round for proofreading by a language professional editor, editing process and lay-outing. Final format manuscript will be returned to the author for final checking and approval. Manuscript will be published if the authors give an approval of the final manuscript.

  8. Article Publication
    Accepted articles undergo final editing, layout, and are published according to the journal's issue schedule.
